The problem is we live in a society that gives women all the functional power and responsibilities of men, but still refuses to hold them just as accountable. This is why crimes like abortion not only go rarely punished, but get celebrated and promoted by our culture. Abortion is the ultimate way to avoid responsibility. No act requires more responsibility than bearing a child, but because our society is not prepared to hold women to account, women are granted the ability to opt out of having to even give birth to the children they play an integral role in binging into existence. And because our society gives this power exclusively to the mothers, pro-life rhetoric is completely incapable of addressing the reality of the situation when it is directed only at dead beat dads, but does not have dead beat mums in its vocabulary just as stridently.
