Not only that but a very brutal power struggle would result as well since they both feel like they are being controlled by the other.

If the woman wants an abortion and the man doesn't let her, she will be more likely to take the matter in her own hands.

Then, if she does get an illegal abortion, the man will feel insulted by her defying his decision. Then an arms race power struggle will ensue, most likely greatly hurting both their lives.


A power struggle can start, clearly shown here, if a woman initially wants an abortion and is able to get one without the consent of the man but it will be no where as bad since no one is actually physically forcing their control over the other.
