Abortion empowers men, not women

I read a very interesting article in First Things magazine at my parents house (apparently they still publish magazines in hard copy, not just online. Who knew?) The article, Her Choice, Her Problem, argues that by making "reproductive choice" a hallmark of feminism, that in effect women bear more of the responsibility of child rearing and sexual restraint, not less. Abortion actually makes women less empowered and makes men more empowered by making them less responsible for the consequences of sex. Very interesting argument, yet another nail in the coffin that houses the lie that abortion is a liberator of women.
