As he prepares to graduate law school, the 28-year-old argues that having a baby would derail his career:<\/p>\n<p>It would be a terrible time to have a baby. Don\u2019t get me wrong \u2014 I\u2019ve always wanted to have kids. I love the relationship I have with my parents and can\u2019t imagine not getting to experience fatherhood. I think I\u2019d be good at it. That said, I\u2019m not in a relationship. I haven\u2019t built a nest egg. And, frankly, after two years of a global pandemic, I want to eke out and enjoy every last minute of my 20s. In too many ways, I\u2019m unsettled.<\/p>\n<p>Admitting to having sex with several women throughout the past decade, Shroff then pushes abortion as his \u201cright\u201d to preventing fatherhood in the case of unwanted pregnancy:<\/p>\n<p>We often talk about the ways access to birth control and safe abortion empowers women. And it does: I believe that access to safe abortion is a basic human right. On a human and policy level, it\u2019s infuriating to watch a partisan Supreme Court erode and threaten to eliminate that right. Women\u2019s bodily autonomy should not be up for debate. But men like me have also long been the direct beneficiaries of safe abortion access. Giving women the choice not to carry unwanted pregnancies often means we, too, can delay parenthood until we are ready.<\/p>\n<p>Since I\u2019ve spent 10 of the past 11 years as a student, most of the women I\u2019ve had sex with were also students, also progressive, and also not at a point in their lives where they were looking or ready to have children. I try to share responsibility for birth control and if a woman tells me she\u2019s on it, I also trust that. If she still got pregnant, however, though entirely her decision, I assume we would both want the same thing: an abortion. In longer-term relationships, we\u2019ve had explicit discussions about this.<\/p>\n<p>Shroff acknowledges that he is \u201cscared\u201d by the prospect of losing access to legal abortion:<\/p>\n<p>What if I got a woman pregnant? What if she didn\u2019t want to continue the pregnancy, but could not get an abortion? Would we try to stay together, even if it wasn\u2019t a fit? What kind of custody or visitation rights would I get if we weren\u2019t together? How would I provide for the child? Would adoption really be a consideration, as Justice Amy Coney Barrett recently glibly suggested? If so, would the child face an abusive welfare system?
