NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As we observe the first Valentine's Day since the overturn of Roe v. Wade in the United States, a true act of love looks different this year, with chocolates and flowers just not cutting it. Conversations around reproductive care and family planning have always been one-sided, with those who can get pregnant being held responsible for birth control, when 100% of unwanted pregnancies are caused by testicles.
