What If Men Could Get Pregnant?
6,356Mood swings, baby brain. Until now, potential pregnancy complications are something only those of us with uteruses experienced.
But what if men could get pregnant too? Men statistically work more in business, politics and lawmaking. If men got pregnant, abortions could become legal or more easily available in many places. Paid leave for pregnancies would probably be more commonplace.
If men could give birth, it could lead to more empathy when it comes to pregnancy, birth and parental leave. Biologically, it may be unlikely for men to carry pregnancies today, but in future anything could be possible.
