Quick story about men waking up one day and finding they are pregnant.
They don't want to be pregnant, but since abortion has been outlawed in their state, they are forced to carry the child.
Some are passed over for promotions, because they are pregnant and will take maternity leave.
It brings focus on the Roe v. Wade reversal by the Supreme Court and the impact it has on people. ( )

This short story was written as a response to the recent announcement of the overturn of Roe v Wade. It imagines that all men who have had recently had unprotected sex are now, miraculously, pregnant. And because of the new ruling - abortions are scarce. Reactions of the men are mixed but interesting. Viewing the recent issue from this different point of view is not novel, but worth a look. I applaud Picoult for speaking out. ( )
