  28. So what do you call child support laws, if not burdening men
  29. in a way that women aren't?   Most people do accept the unequal
  30. burden placed on men by child support laws, without any second
  31. thoughts. 
  32.  
  33. If we accept the premise that the sexes should not be burdened
  34. unequally, how does it follow that permissive abortion laws
  35. are the *only* possible means for women to achieve equality?  
  36.  
  37. And how does it follow that every type of abortion restriction, 
  38. including waiting periods, informed consent provisions, and
  39. late-term restrictions, will result in the subjugation of
  40. women?
