3. If the government coerces women to carry to term, that can be expensive for the father.

Before dna testing, men could deny involvement. Now that there is dna testing, men find it harder to evade responsibility.

Therefore, men should have a greater interest in keeping abortion legal. They may not have a say in the woman's choice, but they do have a say in keeping the government from forcing them to carry a pregnancy to term if neither the man nor the woman wants it.

For this reason, I think it's actually unlikely the right will overturn roe v. wade entirely. I think the right wants abortion legal but very difficult so that rich men can still pay for them.
