I’m sooo excited for this!!
A key point in framing is that almost every anti-choice idiot says, is that they always frame it as "the choice to have a kid". Specifically, in this case:
"You chose to have sex, so you have to deal with the kid"
Let's just...side-step the puritanical root of punishing people for having sex, and the actual, sincere belief that humans Not Having Sex is something we can actually achieve, which is stupid.
People explicitly make choices to not have kids when they have sex, too.
There are whole swaths of things that men and women do, hopefully overlapping, to not have kids.
None of them are 100% effective. Even Female and Male sterilization aren't 100% effective, other than a full blown hysterectomy.
Literally, a man and a woman can both go to a doctor, have actual surgeries performed so they don't have kids, have sex with one another, and still wind up pregnant. Especially if it's in the first few years after their surgeries are performed. Surgeries which have weeks to months of recovery time, planning, and costing thousands of dollars each.
I choose to go to work every day; punishing me for getting hit by a cab as a "potential outcome" of going to work is fucking ludicrous. People smoking are more likely to get a cancer, but we still treat them in hospitals. Getting AIDS from donating blood is a thing that can happen, but you're damn well going to sue the hospital or agency that gave you AIDS. I can play the lottery every day and eventually win a million dollars, but it's still "the stupid tax" and actually thinking it will happen is the literal Gold Standard for "not gonna happen".
Nowhere else in society do we accept bullshit like that except when we're talking about controlling women and their sex lives for doing things you don't want them to. And it's always, always from the same people who want the woman to deliver the baby (which itself has a high risk of just killing the mom outright, especially in the US) who don't want to feed the baby when it's delivered, who don't want to give it a home or clothes or healthcare.
Again, that's before we even get to:

this is my favorite part in the manga :) glad that +40k people agree with it!
As with all regional mons, these designs are a separate ancillary section of the region. Stema Region is not dependent on canon mons.
I revisited one of the first regionals I designed for the region which was a plant version of the Solosis line. This line is specifically designed after how a seed is formed to parallel with the original Solosis line referencing a fetus. This process is called plant embryogenesis which starts with a zygote but then the embryo grows long, leading to a heart stage where cotyledons start to form. Cotyledons are like the meaty part of a bean as they are the first "leaves" the plant would later use to grow out of the ground and before the plant could actually photosynthesize.
Solosis (Grass): Although their exterior is very tough, they can still absorb water which they store in the vacuole they sit on. One can tell how well-watered a Solosis is by looking at the size and shape of their vacuole.
Duosion (Grass): Duosion becomes separated with their other compartment which is now used to bring up nutrients from the ground. Although the tops of Duosions can photosynthesize, they get most of their energy from their bottom compartment.
Reuniclus (Grass): When Reunicli of this kind shake hands, they can transfer over some of the food they have stored in their hands. Despite their tough exterior, the internal membrane around the body can expand to store more water.
Only in Legends Arceus can you have a 10 feet tall Garchomp scold the mighty Dialga you just caught for being a big bully 😤💖
