Women’s rights, to be sure, but I haven’t yet seen anyone — certainly not in the media — noting that forced birth is also a burden on men… 21 years of financial support for an unplanned child. Child-rearing responsibility, too, if the couple stays together.
But the financial is still there even if there’s a divorce (or lack of marriage), since the same states with legislatures that oppose abortion also tend to be those whose judges always hold the father financially responsible through alimony and child support.
