Yeah, I hate it when people blame "men" for attacks on women's healthcare. It's just completely incorrect.
Ironically, evangelicals never cared about abortion - they saw it as a Catholic issue, and they do not associate themselves with being Catholic.
However, there was this wannabe Hollywood filmmaker who made an avant-garde anti abortion film, and they didn't like it, but then the New York Times did an article on it and he started getting protests outside his screenings. He literally had empty stadiums with protests outside, then this was covered by the local news, then the evangelicals were like "Hey, this pisses off all the hardcore feminists, we should go check this out!" and they attended the following nights. And thus the anti abortion movement was born.
It's pretty ironic, really.
Interesting. What decade was this?
1970s I think? The guy's name is Frank Schaeffer, and he deeply regrets it now, although his wikipedia page barely mentions it.
There's a really good podcast called Things Fell Apart that goes over it an various other culture wars. This is the episode, it's well worth a listen:

Not only women, but yes that is how they see it
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nevertheless, according to Alabama’s supreme court – in a decision which has which paved the way for two wrongful death suits to proceed against a fertility clinic – frozen embryos are “children” and should be treated as such.
Numerous embryos tend to be created and then frozen during the IVF process because it maximizes the chances of success, is more cost-effective and reduces the health risks of the procedure.
Still, that’s little comfort when you look at the bigger picture: Republicans aren’t content with just forcing women to give birth, they are intent on controlling all facets of reproductive healthcare.
After realizing this may not have been the smartest thing to say for her hopeless presidential election campaign, she walked the comments back and said that she didn’t mean to imply she agreed with Alabama’s supreme court.
Still, I urge Hochul to spend some time looking at the devastating videos coming out of Gaza and ask herself why she thinks it’s OK to make light of a situation so traumatizing that kids as young as five have told aid workers they want to die.
Neuroscientist Gina Rippon looks in the Guardian at why scientists have long been obsessed with trying “to find a nice set of biologically programmed, sex-specific differences in the brain”.
The original article contains 1,175 words, the summary contains 213 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Why does this person with the sign want the Russian to get out of their Sport Utility Vehicle?
