Whatever you think about abortion, there is an unintended consequence: MEN ARE LET OFF THE HOOK. Before abortion, my ex always said he would marry me if I became pregnant. After abortion became legal he said that if I got pregnant, that would be MY PROBLEM, NOT HIS, as I could abort it. He was “off the hook.” I think out of wedlock births skyrocketed when abortion was made legal.

Actually, it was just the occurrence of out-of-wedlock sex. Women are the gate-keepers, requiring men to be of high character in order to get married and have “access”.

I blame the out-of-wedlock births on exactly what this article is about - using the government as the provider instead of requiring men to. Conversely, women know that any consequences of having sex, getting pregnant, having a child, will actually, in some cases, improve their situation because of the gov’t handouts.

I'm curious why you would marry a man who made a claim like this?
