The whole "contraceptive culture" in the early 1960s helped facilitate the "hookup culture" -- easy abortion access in 1973 just sped it along.

The bright line of distinction between contraception and abortion is universally recognized, save for Catholics. Conflating the two is a favorite tactic of the left because it works for their purposes.

Why not return the old socio- sexual dynamic, which encouraged marriage and early childbearing in marriage?

Because that model has already been rejected by society-at-large. "Going back" has never been an option. We can only attempt to institute a countervailing innovation that *inadvertently* provides a close approximation.

Maybe all they really wanted was a safe trip from gate to gate.

Precisely, excepting the fact that no one pushed them out of the airplane: they jumped.

The "wanting to be safe" is what keeps them from making the bold move that would short-circuit the practical effects of pro-choice ideology and tactics.

Please explain.

Every woman wants to be safe. And the boldest move of all for a woman would be for her to outright refuse sex outside of a married relationship.
