Quick answer: Yes. Not all of course. Bad apples and all. But on the whole, we have and, in all likelihood, most have over the years when the opportunity presents itself. See Laura Klassen, who is all about helping expectant and new mothers, for just one example among many.

That's not to say they don't argue about not doing things that encourage out of wedlock childbirth. But most I know will have personally, or through various means, supported mothers, the poor, what have you.


One of the great lies of the pro-abortion movement is that men are only against abortion because they want to control women, and care neither for the mothers or the babies once they are born. It's such a demonstrably false lie that I don't know where to begin. Women who oppose abortion, like all unpeople who slip out of easy leftwing templates, don't exist for the purposes of this lie.

Granted, some of this no doubt stems from the Left's insistence that even God can't solve a problem better than liberal political policies, so to oppose those policies is to hate black babies. With that sort of piercing logic, one can assume any deviation from a select political agenda must equal letting babies starve.

But even stepping aside from that level of 'Jesus cares not for feeding the hungry, he cares about which policies of the Roman Empire you support', it's simply a lie meant to derail the bigger objections to the great age of gratuitous slaughter for debauchery in which we live. After all, we know full well why we have unrestricted abortions: so women can have anything they want, and jump on any Tom or Harry's you know what, and not be accountable for their choices. After all, promising a consequence-free world has been an unwritten platform for secular liberalism for generations. Sexed up men and women both approve this message.

It is amazing that those for abortion can ignore the fact that half of the women in the US oppose it, yet continue to perpetuate the myth it is about men wanting to control women.

That being said, they also have to ignore the fact that a great many men are for abortion because it allows them to avert responsibility for the children they create.

Women used to be much more cautious with their sexuality because they were the one left holding the bag if pregnancy occurred. Prior to the days of DNA technology a man simply had to deny a child was his and there was no way to prove it.

DNA testing gave women the ability to balance those scales and demand fair treatment and responsibility for a pregnancy.

With the advent of a wide variety of easily available contraceptives, regretably many women decided to instead go the route of wanting consequence free sex as well, and abortion becomes "necessary" to preserve that "right."

What I think often gets missed though is that prior to the advent of DNA, when women couldn't prove who the father of a child was, abortion wasn't legal. Within a decade of DNA technology, all of a sudden abortion became a "women's right." That is not a coincidence and it's too bad women don't understand that's really how they've allowed themselves to be controlled by men who needed another way to be able to avoid the consequences of a pregnancy.
