Twitter is buzzing today with the voices of men who support women's rights -- specifically, the right to choose.
Activism and advocacy group NARAL started the hashtag #MenForChoice to highlight and celebrate pro-abortion rights men.
We’re talking about #MenForChoice all day today - magnifying voices of all the #prochoice men out there & sharing why we love them.
— NARAL (@NARAL) September 16, 2015
The hashtag is pegged to an event tonight in Washington DC, calling on men to support women's reproductive decisions and act as allies to the reproductive rights movement.
While it's arguably kind of depressing that being a man who supports abortion rights is worthy of celebration in the year 2015, it's awesome to see men stepping up and speaking out.

#MenForChoice are so important because women’s equality is good for everyone, regardless of gender.

I like #MenForChoice hashtag. I'm one b/c as husband, father & legislator, I recognize I have no business controlling a woman's body @NARAL

#MenForChoice because most cis men wouldn't want someone else in charge of their balls.

#MenForChoice support women in their decisions, or else we are in the danger zone. pic.twitter.com/WVY01noodk

Because it's absolutely insane that in 2015 women still do not have autonomy over their bodies and their healthcare choices #MenForChoice

The right to CHOOSE. A woman's personal autonomy MUST be respected and unencumbered. Women are not vessels. #MenForChoice

Proud to be a chair of #MenForChoice event tonight and to be able to look my kids in the eyes and say I fought with women for their rights.

Not your body. Not your life. Not your decision. #MenForChoice

It is okay to be loud & proud about being pro-choice. Pro-choice is pro-life. #MenForChoice

There's no legal, moral, or spiritual reason for men to dictate what women can do with their bodies. Ever. #MenForChoice #StandWithPP
