For 50 years women have planned their pregnancy, or not planned, with the knowledge that abortion is legal.   It still is.

I did not say rape was the ONLY reason for abortion, just the opposite, the majority is for birth control/contraception. 

I think 'free sex' has hurt our national culture.    We ignore the down side of casual sexuality in building long term secure relationships.     Sex is great fun, but if not with a truly intimate partner, can lead to all kinds of misunderstanding of intent and create emotional risk for both people, let along the physical concern for disease, violence, and in some cases pregnancy.

At one time, fairly or not, women were seen as more intuitive, sensitive, protectors of virtue and honestly, helping to control the baser instincts for power(money, sex, violence) that many men show.     I think we've lost some of that balance.   But there's no reason that men can't change their behavior(more empathy),  if we expect women to change theirs.
