- I don't see your reasoning.
-
- 1. Perhaps the number of pregnancies would go down (or extranational
- abortions increase), if abortion were illegal.
-
- 2. Perhaps the consequences of feminism would give men equal custody
- (especially the younger generations) hence reducing the number of men
- paying support (and the number of women willing to risk pregnancy).
-
- 3. Accurate paternity tests make things different from pre-Roe
- days, and the effects aren't predictable on the face of the matter:
- perhaps more fathers would be identified, or perhaps more potential
- victims would be able to prove they weren't the father.
