But statistically 50% of the aborted fetuses will be male! Checkmate!

There are definitely women with kids who are against abortion. Source: I know some of them.

My sister in law with 8 children is "against it as a contraceptive" which I'm not convinced has been a thing for more than a handful of people that wasn't due to lack of proper contraceptive access and education, or mental disorder.

However she AND her religious husband have been "reconsidering" purely from the goodness of their hearts and surely not because the majority of their children are girls, the oldest of which is soon to be a teenager, I'm sure. Definitely not because now it affects their family directly...

And because I'm sure someone will get a giggle out of this anecdote, they forbid any sleepovers with BOYS because they don't want anyone "making purple", but) and completely dismiss the fact that their girls could decide they would rather make pinker pink.

I totally understand the point and I’m not trying to undermine, but I’m curious is this close to the actual ratio for 79%?

And to be pedantic, some men have uteri.

The percentage of trans men opposed to abortion is, if not precisely zero, a minuscule rounding error from it.

Yeah but from my experience at least 33% of them have helped pay for an abortion.
