Also I think the lack of financial independence and inequality on who is left holding the baby for want of a better term. I would expect in all cases it was the woman and the men just went off and did anything they liked, plus before 1967 the lack of contraception for single women and legal abortion.

Both unmarried and married women had hard decisions to make when it came to children and families.

I am glad those days are over and it wasn't that long ago at all it was like that when I was born and I can say that I had experience of the fallout as a child of an unmarried mother in the 1950s,1960s and 1970s both financially and from society in general.
