“I couldn't rely on a man to control his fertility. Pregnancy happened in my body and so it was up to me to make sure it didn't happen. I couldn't expect a man to carry an equal share of the discomfort, the misery, the weight. I couldn't lie back and assumed he had it covered: I had to be the backstop, the sensible one, the person who carried the can.”
