If you said generally rather than always, I might agree.
But if what you wrote ("always") was true there would be
fewer abortions,

Getting an abortion is not taking responsibility for a surprise or
unwanted pregnancy?

"taking responsibility" would be not having an unwanted pregnancy in
the
first place.

Which makes men equally liable.

No, not equally. Men don't get pregnant. If a woman doesn't want to
get pregnant, she can either abstain from sex or take contraceptive
measures. The woman always bears the greater responsibility for an
unwanted pregnancy.

It is just mind-boggling that the out-of-wedlock pregnancy and birth
rates got sky-high in the 1970s and 1980s after contraception became
widely and *cheaply* available, and after women became "empowered"
[chortle] following the sexual "revolution". Simply inexcusable.

The problem is not availability of contraception, it is attitude. Males
think it is macho to make babies, women think they are showing how they
can have a man, like a status symbol.

I know a young lady about 30, single, but has been in a couple of
relationships. Her female Hispanic co-workers just cannot imagine why
she doesn't have a baby or two yet.

And that attitude is destructive to the notion of an intact nuclear
family, and so is an indirect cause of gun violence. Man-babies grow up
poor and without a responsible father figure, and eventually turn to
gangs, drugs and crime.

100% of them? Really? Bull****. I know plenty who haven't. It's true
that there is a lower incidence of social pathology among children
coming from intact nuclear families, but the rate is not 100% for
children from one-parent families, nor is it zero for children from
intact nuclear families.
