Let's get something straight, nobody favors abortion

122. Here's the situation. From what I hear, most anti-choice proponents are also anti-birth control.

On the pulpit, right after Roe v.Wade, Griswold comes up as the next evil to be overthrown.
To expound upon what you indicated above - when I was growing up, all women (not just 15 to 17 year olds) are supposed to just live with the consequences of having sex.
If you were married, it was expected you'd have kids when Hubby wanted them. If you weren't married, you had to "take responsibility" for your decisions or behavior. It was very rarely the man's fault you got pregnant when you didn't want to have children.
I'd really like to see someone do a major survey of anti-choice proponents about sexual autonomy and/or birth control along with their opinions of choice, but I already suspect I know what the findings would be.
In the many years of experiencing the age of "sexual revolution", I've found that when you scratch the surface of "anti-choice", you realize that most proponents feel that the only reason a baby is born a girl is to be able to bear other babies once she becomes fertile. Whatever other desirable characteristics she may have been born with (intelligence, talents, abilities, strengths, humor, etc..) are ultimately secondary to her being a womb for the children of whatever guy she settles with. It's tradition, the way it's supposed to be.

A girl baby is supposed to be Daddy's little Girl to be given away to a deserving fellow and provide Daddy and Mommy with grandkids when it's appropriate. Because if she's "headstrong" or "made a mistake", then she's a disappointment; maybe she'll find someone who isn't so picky who will still take care of her so Daddy and Mommy don't have to worry about her in their old age.
