There has been in recent years a more militant strain of feminism that frankly sees men as inherently the enemy. It's particularly taken hold in the wake of the Me-Too movement ............... when people are extremely frustrated, there's a tendency to want to find an easy, convenient source to blame, and where abortion is concerned, on the part of some women, that's men.
There are good reasons for women to target men as blame worthy: most of the abortion movement because it isn't about abortion but power has been initiated, organized and carried out by men, conservative Christian men. The anti-abortion movement was started by the Catholic Convention of Bishops (Catholic bishops tend to be men). It got a considerable boost in numbers when Jerry Falwell and Paul Weyrich deliberately steered conservative Christians away from their anger about integration and into anger about abortion. Follows a list of some of the more outstanding organizations leading the anti-abortion movement. There are very few women even in the women's organizations.

“…….sociologist Ziad Munson studied the characteristics of both activists and non-activists who considered themselves anti-abortion. The anti-abortion activists of Munson's sample were 93% white, 57% female, 66% Catholic, and 71% had a college degree. Of non-activists who considered themselves anti-abortion, Munson found that 83% were white, 52% were female, 45% were Catholic, and 76% had a college degree. (Wikipedia)
While slightly more than half of the membership in anti-abortion organizations are female the people that founded, organized, and run the organizations are male.
The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) is the oldest and largest national pro-life organization in the United States . It was founded in 1967 as the "Right to Life League" to coordinate its state campaigns under the auspices of the NCCB.(As far as I know Catholic bishops are still all men)
It has had 5 male and 5 female presidents since it’s founding.
It’s current Legislative Director is Doug Johnson
Operation Rescue one of the most active anti-abortion organizations: president and founder Randall Terry; past president Keith Tucci; current president Troy Newman
Spin-offs Operation Rescue West, Jeff White; Operation Rescue North, Rev. Flip Benham; Operation Rescue National, Pat McEwen

Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, said that making abortion illegal is more important than any other issue.
Jerry Falwell and Paul Weyrich together created and developed anti-abortion position and activities for evangelicals.
Kevin Williamson: writer for The Atlantic : tweets in which he referred to abortion as "homicide" that should be treated "like any other homicide." He added that those who support capital punishment should favor the death penalty for women who get abortions.
Anti-abortion bills introduced and sponsored in Congress and state legislatures: almost 100% men
Voting for restrictive abortion laws. Almost 100% male.
Telling women how easy and simply it is to carry a pregnancy to term, give birth or get a C-section, stop lactation, give up child for adoption, regain strength and shape. 100% male.
Women are angry and frustrated with anti-abortion males because men are the ones leading the organization, activities, legislation and instruction on reproduction. The anger has almost nothing to do with being a feminist.
