CONSERVATIVE COMMENTARY

Nobel Prize-winning economist George A. Akerlof famously said:

The sexual revolution, by making the birth of the child the physical choice of the mother, makes marriage and child support a social choice of the father.

George A. Akerlof, Janet L. Yellen and Michael L. Katz, “An Analysis of Out-of-Wedlock Childbearing in the United States,” Quarterly Journal of Economics 111, no. 2 (May 1996): 277-317, 281.

Or in other words from James Taranto:

If men have no reproductive rights, it follows logically that they have no reproductive responsibilities.
