if women have a right to 'kill' their babies, men can 'abandon 'em'

Using the modern lefties' logic, this makes perfect sense.

It is a move back toward Roman Pagan law.

Under Roman law, husbands decided if a baby was to be kept or abandoned (most likely exposed to die).

The law was gradually changed as Rome became Christian.

Rome became Christian, in large part, because Christians did not kill their babies. Neither did Jews.

Rome could not maintain its populatin because of promiscuous sex of all kinds, abortion, and infanticide.

This theory is fleshed out in good detail by sociologist Rodney Stark in:

The Rise of Christianity: How the Obscure, Marginal Jesus Movement Became the Dominant Religious Force in the Western World in a Few Centuries

I found it persuasive.
