This is a message you don’t hear very much anymore: men and women need to take equal responsibility for their actions.
From Rosemary Bottcher, in her essay, Feminism: Bewitched by Abortion, which was published in 1987:
Women who think they can’t be equal without their abortions forget that the law expects and requires that a man provide for his children, even though doing so may cause him much inconvenience. A man cannot demand that he be excused from his duty because his career might suffer. He can’t say, “I’m not ready for children,” or “I have enough already,” or “I don’t want that child.” He knew what he was doing when he did it and he should expect to be held accountable. Men are expected to be mature, and the mark of maturity is the willingness to accept the consequences of one’s actions, even though doing so may cause sacrifice and even hardships. Women who want equality can demand no less of themselves.
Rather, we now hear that men and women should be equally irresponsible for their actions.
From Elizabeth Brake, in her essay, Fatherhood and Child Support: Do Men Have a Right to Choose?, published in 2005:
The main point will be that if women’s partial responsibility for pregnancy does not obligate them to support a fetus, then men’s partial responsibility for pregnancy does not obligate them to support a resulting child.
It seems that we’re willing to sacrifice ourselves and our children in the name of sexual autonomy. We’re killing our children through abortions, shirking our responsibilities as adults and parents, and forfeiting our character, just to ensure that we can have sex any time with anyone. We do this in order to pretend that there are no life-changing consequences that can result from each sexual encounter, such as pregnancy and STDs.

Your last paragraph says it perfectly. Sad but true state of mankind…(that is, womynkind)….
The axiomatic assumption behind abortion rights is that adults have a right to consequence-free sex and that this right always trumps the right to life of the unborn child.
And if they have to kill their own children to achieve that so be it.
Of course, it’s never that simple, as many people discover after the fact. As Macbeth discovered it is one thing to commit murder to get what you want. It is another to walk away as though nothing has happened.
I woke up in the middle of the night with this very short dream/fictitious story in my head.. I don’t know why but I wanted to put it somewhere and after a Google this post kind of fitted in with my story,.
