Then why don't humans have a 24/7 365 fertility window. Other animals have it.
I don’t think there are any animal species, certainly no mammals, who have this trait.
But your argument surprisingly does check out, as human men (and all male apes) are in fact 24/7 365 fertile! Following your reasoning this explains that male sexuality is indeed all about reproduction/impregnation. But female sex is not (or only around a sixth as much). Which explains much about sexual customs and men/women.

The opposite, eating makes sense as it is desensitizing/training up against the plant defenses.

Regardless I am pretty pro-choice from a fairly radical bodily autonomy perspective.
Funny, from the same principle I believe the reverse: „Every child wants to be born“; the body of another human being is harmed (well, murdered) -> This is anathema.

Hank Green explaining/rambling through his favorite pictures from the Artemis 2 mission:

“Some of my favorite pictures are the ones that include the interior of the spacecraft that show the juxtaposition between the foreground of the interior of the capsule, the thing made by humans, that is very small, just a little submarine out in the ocean of everything, and then through that window taking up much less space, the little ball where everything is from.”

She recalled of these dinners:
I would say, "This is what I believe about I.Q. differences, I have 12 different studies that have been published over the years, here’s the journal that's put this stuff together, I believe that this is true, that race predicts I.Q. and that there were I.Q. differences in races." And they would come back with 150 more recent, more well researched studies and explain to me how statistics works and we would go back and forth until I would come to the end of that argument and I'd say, Yes that makes sense, that does not hold together and I'll remove that from my ideological toolbox but everything else is still there. And we did that over a year or two on one thing after another until I got to a point where I didn’t believe it anymore.[8]
In 2013, Black wrote a public statement to the Southern Poverty Law Center, publicly renouncing her views.
What if someone is taking unreasonable measures though?
Contraception is very safe and not difficult, but still there were 1.1 million abortions in the US last year (a third of births). That high a number is only possible to me if people are self-sabotaging their measures (“just the tip”).
