It's men, is it?

https://www.theguardian.com/science/the-lay-scientist/2014/apr/30/why-are-women-more-opposed-to-abortion

It's quite reasonable to assume that women, who come equipped as the bearers/creators of life would have their own view of that life. Since the beginning of our species, boys have been raised as cannon fodder and girls as mothers. It kind of worked.

You can easily find exceptions to that premiss, or disregard it completely, but you have to agree that a lifetime of menstruation broken up by months of pregnancy would cause some thought not shared by men here and there.

Look around at your conservative cabals and and see just how many women are calling the shots, including on reproduction. This is not at all unreasable, considering that women are much closer to it all.

I have heard many men offer to provide and pay for an abortion, but remain clueless when the offer is not immediately taken.

So, where we are is not simply calling out men but giving that 60% options that would allow them the freedom to enjoy sex on their terms without guilt or obligation.

Finding an evil entity is easy. Solving a problem is not.

Have let them figure out that they had anything to do with making a baby. Before that, women were goddesses because we could bear a child.

number of women who are anti abortion and who will have to be convinced should we continue the abortion fight.

A lot of people love to make it man v woman, but it's really not and will get you nowherin the real battle.
