Y'all forgetting they were gathering period data and were arresting women who had 'abortion-like' procedures?

I get where you’re coming from, but there’s a bit of a (hopefully unintended) subtext in your comment that women must be the ones to bear the inconvenience in order to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Used correctly, condoms are about 1% off from hormonal birth control in effectiveness. But I guess headaches, nausea, and other side effects for women aren’t all that bad compared to some reduced sensation for the penis. After all, women are already used to it from their cycles, right? /s
Discomfort or inconvenience of condoms would also be preferable to an unwanted child for most people. Be safe, use both
Women are the ones who get pregnant. Take it up with evolution.
This is like complaining that you're the one who's expected to lock your doors to prevent unwanted people in your house. Sure, you CAN choose to trust someone else to lock your doors for you, but ultimately, it IS your house, and YOU'RE the one who suffers the consequences if there's a break-in, so when it comes down to it, it makes perfect sense to consider it primarily YOUR responsibility to take the precaution against the outcome that YOU (at least, you more than anyone else) don't want.
Don't pretend women don't also prefer sex without a condom, lol. Condoms are never wanted, by either men or women, when their STI/contraceptive 'abilities' aren't needed.
The biggest irony of this is that women can stop having periods altogether with the right contraception, and that's one of the many reasons women (especially those who have especially-unpleasant/painful periods) go on them, aside from actually needing to prevent pregnancy.
