It took someone pointing it out for me to consider reproductive choice being related societal violence even though I knew choice was better for societal economic outcomes.
Given the shift to confront, stop, and treat all forms of childhood abuse rather than ignore it also had to help. During the satanic panic the administrations stance was to blame mothers for failing to take care of their husbands as the root cause of childhood abuse. They had the data that showed abuse was linked to poverty more than anything else but it was cheaper to blame women. We’re still not in a great place when dealing with childhood abuse but we’re better than that and it has to have done something.
Abortion and by extension or related to it birth control pill (and later methods) is an interesting thing I hadn’t considered.
