If an unwed couple find themselves pregnant, the man, rather than taking responsibility and marrying his girlfriend, feels that he can just pay for an abortion and be done with “it,” leaving the girlfriend to feel the loss, pain, and guilt.
The reality is that it is women who are killing the children by abortion, not the fathers of those children. in every case the woman, and the woman only, is legally authorized to sign for the abortion. Fathers of babies aren't looking to "be done with" fatherhood; fathers of babies are looking to protect their children from the women willfully killing those children via abortion.
If the woman decides to have and keep the baby, she is now left alone to raise a child and the man is free to live his life as he pleases.
Also completely opposite to actual reality: in most cases, the woman GETS THE PRIVILEGE of raising the couple's child while the father of the child is deprived of his right to live with his own child and parent.
I don’t consider those falsehoods at all because I know plenty of young men who think that way. I know literally two men my age who are pro-life.
With abortion, young men can have as much sex as they want and then tell women who get pregnant, “Well you can have an abortion, I’ll pay for it.” And they do (or in one case I’ve seen, they’ll chip in for half of it. Just so all things are fair!). I know one young woman who had an abortion because her boyfriend threatened to kill her if she didn’t. I know another one whose boyfriend left her because she refused to have an abortion; she can’t get any child support out of him and probably never will.
One of the greatest tragedies of abortion, once you get past all of the dead babies, is that fathers are denied the right to protect their children. What greater instinct does a father have? I would never deny this, and it is a tragedy. But that doesn’t mean that all women who get abortions are entirely responsible and their partners were poor wronged men who had no say in the matter. Plenty of those poor wronged men were the ones pushing for it in the first place. Abortion has created a culture of not only death but also irresponsibility, and you can’t possibly believe that 19-25 year old guys aren’t enchanted by the idea of sex without responsibilities. Legal abortion magically removes all the responsibilities of sex from those young men and places 100% of the burden on their female partners.
This is the breakdown that this piece is referring to. This culture has led young men (and women, but you already seem to have a grasp on that) to treat children as “the enemy” and abortion as salvation. This has led to a breakdown and general disregard for the family unit, as young people are no longer expected to become a family. They are expected to remain individuals and given license to kill to keep it that way.
