dynamics of unexpected pregnancies before and after contraception became widespread:
-
-
-
in both cases, the objective is to avoid having a child outside of marriage
-
before contraception, this was the man's responsibility--to marry the girl he accidentally knocked up and raise the child
-
after contraception, this shifted from "don't abandon the wife" to "just don't get pregnant lol"
-
which moved responsibility to the woman, since men don't get pregnant and aren't expected to marry over an unplanned pregnancy
-
by the time an unexpected pregnancy is noticed, it's too late for contraception, leaving the obvious choice...

have to agree with this tbh contraceptives have done a whole lot more to gas families than abortion (as of now)
