Huh?  How does this work?  Are you arguing that it's patriarchy that denies
abortion rights _and_ that it's also patriarchy that provides abortions?  It
sure sounds that way.  Personally, I understand the feminist argument to be
that abortion will go away when unwanted pregnancies go away (meaning,
pretty much, never).  Anyway, how does patriarchy force women to have
abortions?
