Some of the fancier early home pregnancy tests can be used as soon as five days before your missed period (although their accuracy maxes out at 50 to 75%). If you can wait until the day of your missed period, the accuracy of these tests usually hits 99%. Let’s make these free to every woman in the US as well as the morning after pill. Let’s distribute these in schools, supermarkets, community centers and everywhere we can with a booklet on how to use them. Let’s do a national advertizing campaign, let’s give every woman the right to choose whether or not she wants a fertilized egg to mature in her womb, and lets stop thinking about these eggs as humans.

Human eggs that are carried to term in female wombs (and soon may not be if science fiction has its way) must become babies that we all love and want and care for. Right now we’re doing a terrible job of that as a society-lets feel shame about that — I do every time I see a child in the world that is dying as a result of poverty, neglect, war and famine. Our tribe stinks at taking care of its young, let’s focus on that. It’s called the right of every child on planet Earth to a decent life.
