I wanted them to have abortions even more than they did. They did see the wisdom of it eventually, however.
This idea that this Hobbs decision ONLY screws things up for women is kinda bullshit, no offense.
It begins with a false presumption about how men think about babies. Like 'if a man causes a pregnancy, they WANT her to have that baby, always!'. That is SO FAR from true.
In fact, I'd bet that in the large majority of abortions, the sperm-contributors input on the subject plays a major role in the ovum-contributors decision to terminate.
Personally I think it's unhelpful to The Cause to present the argument that 'only women are inconvenienced'. I think it's better to say ANYONE can be. XX persons obviously can suffer more acutely than XY's, but making this out to be *purely* a XX's issue ... can limit the audience, so to speak.
