But in my small, conservative town, a “wrong” choice at a young age could cut girls off from their future dreams, leaving them mired in despair.

Oh no, my actions could have future repercussions. Let's blame conservatives for my shitty life decisions.

I don't even need to read the rest of the article.

It’s hilarious, they try and blame the democratic push for hedonism on conservative Christians

It’s a whole article of we were told to close our legs if we wanted out of the shithole, but hey we didn’t want to. I mean at one point they straight up said that. Let me assure you because rural Arkansas is an area I’m very familiar with and have a lot of family there, they tell the boys to not stick their dick in chicks just as much. Yeah they leave that part out. Maybe you should have listened to your parents.

Oh, and all those pics they try to sell off as Arkansas, that’s fucking New York. I skimmed over the captions at first and I just kept thinking how those pics did not look like Arkansas at all. Just some random rural white thugs I guess they found to put on their outrage bait.

The idea that we might become fully realized adults, experiencing sexual freedom and fulfillment, was not fathomable.

I'm sure the urban Tinder dates will be far more chivalrous than the small town boys. Please. Your bitch ass is either going to end up with either a thousand cock stare or a sexless, rape culture paranoid, terminally online feminist equivalent of TheImp.

They weren’t just dying from so-called deaths of despair—from drugs or suicide. Many of them were also dying from cancer, heart disease, or respiratory diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer

These are linked. Dying small towns that have been hollowed out by decades of neoliberalism are going to have elevated rates of all of these.

tl;dr not getting fucked by an endless pool of STD-ridden strangers and irreparably scarring your womb with a thousand abortions is bad because uhhhhhhh it just is okay

By the way, this article is a paid ad for a book written by an obese, pronouns-in-bio propagandist.

We're really not all that far off from liberals saying that the biological reality of pregnancy is just right-wing misogyny.

Now do urban and suburban America, missy. See what the numbers are for them.
