Research and investment in male birth control.

More widespread and complete sex education for young men and young women.

Socials, hosted by communities, where people can engage in romantic activities and courtship without alcohol and drugs. Basically, a place for.men and women to meet who are interested may reduce a lot of street harassment. You wouldn't be shooting blind, in other words.

Teaching men early on their responsibility toward their own part of reproductive process; and not just financial. Young men should learn how to care for infants and small children.

Tax credits for anyone who wishes to self sterilize. Remove political barriers to that process for women.

Child care.

Parental leave.

More stepping into and stepping out of work programs to allow for parenting duties. For both. Work from home, work part time or reduced hours, etc.

More significant child tax credits.

Job training, so you can afford an unexpected child, if your profession doesn't pay appropriate wages.

National health care.

Widespread availability of all forms of birth control, affordable, for everyone. Vouchers for those who can't. Without attaching ridiculous religious beliefs to it. Without judgement or shame.

Life in prison when convicted of rape.

Give people a means of reporting rape and getting treatment, physical and psychological, before involving the police. Think how many more would.be reported if the first person you disclosed to actually cared and gave you a plan B pill rather than a policeman who treats you with suspicion and intimidates you into reliving it over and over again. What if the first person you spoke with was a trauma specialist instead?

More education on the legal definitions around rape and harassment statutes with practical application. Most men know that harassment is wrong and illegal, but they're fuzzy on where the line is in real life scenarios.

Make consent sexy cool in movies and books, commercials, etc.

Education on what evidence needs to be collected and how to go about it for harassment suits. Civil and criminal. Start making examples out of people. Personally, I start with Marjorie Taylor Green and Logan Dorn. But that's just today. Harassment doesn't have to be sexual in nature.

Shall I go on? Basically, if you want abortion to end, you support families, you increase means of preventing unwanted pregnancies in the first place, and you deter assaults or remove the shame of reporting them and getting treatment after they happen.
