According to this Florida forced birth* activist, birth control doesn't prevent abortions.

He claims it causes them.

Andrew Shirvell, executive director of Florida Voice for the Unborn, testified on Monday in favor of a proposed 15-week abortion ban by saying that birth control often fails, which results in people seeking abortions, or in his words: “The contraceptive mentality is what fuels the bloodthirsty abortion industry in our country.”

*I refuse to use the term pro-life, because I consider it dishonest and inaccurate, and because it implies that anyone who supports access to safe, legal abortion is "pro-death," which is patently ludicrous.

1. Dude! I've got it! Sterilization is the answer.

No abortions, no birth control but you don't want a baby? Vasectomy is the way!

2. I call them fetus fetishists because

once that fetus is born, they no longer care what happens, to the child or the mother, in fact, they are almost always the ones fighting against anything that helps mothers, children, heck, anything that helps human beings.

3. It's really past time for politicians to take their noses out of women's private parts

They are beyond disgusting! This entire argument is over who has dominion over women's bodies.Too many men seem to think it's their right, as though we still live in the Dark Ages.

4. Fun fact: Andrew Shirvell is in Florida now because he lost his Michigan law license because...

He was stalking someone.

5. Wow, he's an even worse doucbebag than I realized!

He wasn't just a stalker; he launched homophobic attacks against the guy hewas stalking that the Attorney Discipline Board called "hostile and vindictive."

I noticed that the article you posted was from 2017, and he was appealing his disbarment at the time, so I googled to find out what the outcome was. And guess what? The appeal was denied, and he is still an ex-attorney:

So he doesn't just hate women who want to hang on to their bodily autonomy. He hats gay people, too.

He's now living in Florida, where he founded and serves as executive director of Florida Voice for the Unborn: https://floridavoicefortheunborn.com/about-us

Also, he looks like a slimy little weasel. What a piece of trash!
