below i alter a quote from ustwo to suit the entire "male reproductive rights" argument against abortion because the logic works just as well that way-better even:
Quote:

The semantics games played by the anti-choice forces is what allows this argument to be made. The thought of forcing abortion law into the specious frame of the right's "extensions" (a reductio ad absurdum in fact) of the notion of equal protection in a way that would prevent a woman from having an abortion on the grounds that it "discriminates against men" or infringes upon "male reproductive rights", seems absurd to anyone with a sense of self responsibility or even a shred of decency

but anyone can play this game.
it's called detournement.
it doesn't get anywhere.
maybe that is so easy will function to exclude this entire register of argument from debate.
