Chose your own dystopia. Where no ads exist and everything is pay per view/read/report/etc. Or the one we’re in. Ads being a replacement for paying applies to internet services (social media, news sites, etc. that you can use for free). When you have billboards on the side of the road, you still have to pay the road toll. When you see ads in public transport, you still have to pay the ticket.

That’s what you’d assume, but again in my country this is not a rare situation. Yes, people literally spend years studying to become gynecologists, and then don’t want to do one of the important parts of their job. Admittedly, it is believed that many of the gynecologists actually do the abortions… in private clinics where they work in along with their job in the public hospital.

Actually “fuck off” to the above statement as well in many cases. “I’m a gynecologist. My religion says I can’t do an abortion.” Fuck off. Where I live (Croatia) pharmacies can refuse to sell you contraceptive pills if the person on the counter says it disagrees with their religion. Fuck off. People’s values are never a purely private matter.
