However, liberals only care about power.

True.

And abortion is power.

True.

It's power of men over women, who otherwise might ask for a relationship before having sex.

False. Men have no legal power to coerce abortion; no man can legally disclaim financial obligations for a non-aborted infant.

And it's power of both over the unborn.

False again. Abortion is something that women only can authorize legally...it is something that the women who "choose" it do to babies and to the men who father those babies. The culpability could not be more clear. The refusal of too many conservatives to openly identify that cuplability is the reason abortion persists.

The "blame the guy" motif is just not in concert with legal realities.

No man. not a single one, can authorize an abortion in America.

True, but irrelevant. Men want to keep abortion legal so that they can have their sexual playground. And in about 80% of cases where women are abortion minded, it's because the father or her father are pressuring her to have an abortion. Maybe there is no legal coercion, but there is still coercion. Abortion is most certainly a male power trip.

The "blame the guy" motif is just not in concert with legal realities.

No, but it is in concert with social realities. Often those are much more important.

Shalom.
