and i am not saying that every unwanted pregnancy should end in a pregnancy, but i think the way to make that happen is, for starters, some of the things that i listed above. if there isn't any kind of support, both community and monetary, for young women going through a pregnancy and afterwards, then how can one even begin to ask them to raise a child?

No,it takes
two people to create life, a man and a woman, period. When we divorce men from the process, we actually further alienate and endanger women then we do empowering them.
In California we have a lovely legal system where men are held legally and financially responsible for their children, even if a one night stand, all it takes is a DNA match, and these dudes can even go to prison if they don't support their children. Its not a perfect system by a long shot, but it is picking up pace and making a difference, I can't tell you how many single mothers I've know who have directly benefited by the courts' sympathy and protection of their children in this regard. I agree with that we need a stronger public support system, but abortion isn't the best bandaid for the meantime if you ask me .
I miss the days when feminism asserted that abortion was a male-driven conspiracy to destroy minorities. After all, if women are so about abortion, than how come over 90% of abortion doctors are men, well above the relative ratio of men to women doctors
