It’s not about babies/ It’s about money. For the woman, married or not, frees her from accountability or known faithfulness to a husband, and a few occasional bucks to the baby-disposal unit. Easier than a dumpster solution.

It's about a lot of things, including avoiding the financial responsibility of having a child. A woman can legally do that if abortion is her choice only, but a man cannot. Imagine a man who gets sued for non-support of his child telling the judge, "Well, your Honor, it was her choice to keep the child, not mine." It's not about equality then is it?

Roe v. Wade has always laid on a dubious constitutional foundation. Bastardy was a common law crime for having illegitimate children. There was no right of privacy for that. One of the precedents cited in Roe was an infamous case of forced sterilization of the mentally ill. Calling a right to abortion a right of privacy and choice is just a facade hiding great evil.
