Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a parody from an unfunny clown. She's responding to the argument that abortion is murder. It's also a George Carlin joke, which, judging by the couple's appearance, they know of.
I get that it's a joke. but the logic doesn't follow. The women's equivalent to a sperm is an ovum, not a zygote. If we follow her reasoning, a woman would be guilty of murder if they didn't attempt to get pregnant every month after their first menstruation - ironically part of their nightmare scenario.
There actually have been a few zealots on the right who were fired from their jobs as pharmacists for refusing to allow people to purchase contraception because contraception is murder. I remember the news interviewing the guy after he was fired and he said that masturbation is also murder.
It's a bad argument, but on a rare occasion, it has been made at some point within the past 30 years on the political right.
Don't worry, no one will do it thinking about you.
I had a lightbulb moment earlier, I think I worked out why they care so much about abortion.
I wonder if the power they mean is some kind of twisted "you lived because a woman let you live" inclination. A kind of power trip, based on the idea that they literally control who gets to live/pass on genetics.
I can just imagine a feminist woman cackling to herself looking at an ultrasound, doing a movie villain monologue about how the baby only exists because of her benevolence to allow it life.
Not really, I think it's more self-hate. Kind of like a school shooter mentality of resentment.
I never used to hear the argument until recently, but I've heard A LOT of Leftists making the argument: "I wish I had been aborted."
It comes down to the obsessive Rousseau-ian concept that every restriction on your will is a form of oppression against you, even to the point of nature tyrannizing you with gravity. If someone already has significant emotional problems adopts a left wing ideology that promotes catastrophizing problems, you're going to see them start making arguments on that are very anti-human, and very anti-life in general.

Sperm is not a seperate, unique genetic entity.
They are defending abortion by making a false equivalence between it and men spilling seed.
Edit: they actually included menstruation in that false equivalence.

This isn't that crazy.

You're on to something with this; it's the same reason their most powerful insult was 'virgin' for decades, then 'incel'.
Social value, in their worldview, is derived entirely from whether women want you.
Not just social value, but human value. As in whether you count as a human being or not.
I mean, have you heard what they say about men under 6ft?
