Even Though Men are Half of a Pregnancy, Reproductive Rights Don't Determine Their Votes

In this election, the gender gap is at a record high. The gender gap is defined as the difference between the vote margin among women and the same among men. This will be key to a victory by Kamala Harris. 

Since the US Supreme Court ruling restricting reproductive rights, abortion has been a top voting issue for female voters, especially younger women. 

The economy and inflation are men's most important issues in deciding how to vote.

Since men make up half of a pregnancy, how long will it take for men to take responsibility? Why are they not as concerned as women about reproductive rights? If men were held more accountable financially and in other ways that would alter their lives, similar to how pregnancies change women's lives, maybe they would care more.
