Why Men Should Also Be Concerned About The Future Of Roe v. Wade

A return to constitutionalism would be an outcome to be welcomed.

It's not going to happen so there's nothing of practical concern to discuss.

It will always be legal for rape victims therefore any woman who got pregnant after consentual sex will cry rape.

The impact of these laws will be felt first by the women. They still bear the children. They’ll still suffer the most negative effects at first. Those effects will quickly find their way to the men, as well. Unlike the men prior to 1973, they won’t be able to escape it.

This is complete bullshit, roe vs wade did not make things better for men, it made things worse, and none of the laws or ways the law discriminates against purported fathers will go away post RvW.

RvW is simply proof that women can get anything they want by lying about being raped.

And the Constitution does not grant the federal government the ability to legislate in this area, it is properly a states rights issue.

I know abortion is a touchy issue. It has been even more touchy since the recent shake-ups on the Supreme Court. I've seen a lot of heated debates among women and a few men in women's subreddits. But I think there's another component to the debate that isn't being discussed, one that primarily affects men.

Most men don't realize it, but a lot of modern laws surrounding parental rights and child support came after 1973 when Roe v. Wade was decided. There are many stories about what life was like for women prior to this decision. However, there aren't any story about what life is like for men in a world where abortion is illegal, but current child support laws are in place.

I believe this will become a more relevant issue as abortion access becomes more restrictive. If a woman gets pregnant, intentionally or unintentionally, there are legal mechanisms in place to trap men with legal ramifications. There are documented cases, namely among professional athletes, of women extorting men out of money using these laws. If Roe v. Wade gets overturned, more than just pro athletes will be impacted.

Now, I know there are many men on this sub who are pro-life. I don't expect to change their minds and I understand their sentiment. But however you feel on this issue, it's going to impact men in a way that wasn't possible back in 1973 and I think that's worth contemplating.

I welcome further discussion.
