Abortions were a convenient way to keep women locked into the workforce. There could be no escape from wageslaving. Now that the population is in the shitter, they criminalize abortion.
1. The creation of domestic appliances that dramatically shorten house hold chores (washing clothing is a main one).
2. The move from the bulk of work labour being less physical.
Both meant there was less time needed to maintain a household, previously that was a full time job that seemed unpaid. And that women had suitable roles available in the work force where as manual labour would mean they likely couldn't compete with men for employment.
While society gained extra productivity from these changes, it's debatable if households gained financially as it was likely a powerful force in the mid century inflation.
I'd place centralised schooling in that list of things which freed up more labour. Contraceptives are recognised for this too, and I'm sure it lead to a sexual liberation at least.
Honestly, given where the productivity gains of women in the workforce went (not to the actual workers), we'd probably have a better quality of life if only half the household adults worked.
It's why they were offering women several thousand dollars in reimbursements to travel for an abortion. Those employers were unwilling to provide the same amount to women who wanted to keep their baby.
Isn't that contract killing now?
Edit: Thanks for downvoting a honest question!
For men, it was always "pro-choice", child support and paternity tests are a recent invention (and don't compare with how hard it is to raise a kid)
If men got pregnant you could have your abortion together with your haircut
You dramatically underestimate the number of both men and women who’re against abortion.
Because it's very easy to be against abortion and having somebody else raise the child you should have been responsible for.
