Are you a man against abortion? Heidi Seltz doesn't want to hear from you.
Following the Supreme Court's historic decision that found Texas's restrictive abortion law unconstitutional [1], the Minneapolis Star Tribune ran two stories by antiabortion men.
A woman named Heidi Seltz then wrote a letter to the newspaper, asking the editors not to publish men's "fusty opinions about uteri." She had a message for the men, too: "Unless you have a woman's body, I don't want to hear your opinion on what women's bodies should or should not do."

Seltz's letter was tweeted by Stacey Burns, a social media outreach manager at Rewire News [4], and has since gone viral with more than 3,500 retweets and 6,000 favorites. The message might have been directed at a newspaper's editorial board, but it also applies to states where male lawmakers are actively trying to pass antiabortion laws [5] and endanger women's reproductive health.
