Insights from New Wave Feminists…
She and her child — whose life is considered a ‘choice’ (and because she CHOSE to keep the baby this is all her responsibility of course) — are now a burden to others. An inconvenience. This makes the fertile female person a liability to employers and partners.

And we hate her for it.
Abortion creates a world that is undeniably anti-woman.
