So the male workers were upset when women workers were getting expenses paid to go out of state for an abortion because the men felt they should also get that benefit? Or, because this seems like a Darwin Award qualifier, maybe the men should be offered a free out of state vasectomy, one time opportunity.

It’s much like those who deeply resent parental leave because they don’t have children. They argue that they should get extra leave for whatever they like, since having children is a choice.
While I understand the point they are making, I think 1. having children is now not a choice in forced birthing states and 2. physically recovering from childbirth intakes longer than many realize, so much of the leave granted is medical.
Good point. If the men weren't resenting the women for traveling for abortion, they would resent the women for the inconvenience caused to them by their co-workers taking time off to give birth. Also, they resent women who don't have children, because of hysteria about the birth rate. There is no way to avoid being the target of male anger. Another example of this attitude is anti-choice lawmakers throwing a hissy fit over proposed bipartisan workplace protections for pregnant women: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/08/abortion-fight-threatens-to-spoil-bipartisan-pregnant-worker-protections-00110261

Exactly.
Good point. And who do they think would be taking care of them in long term care if no one has children.
