Because they were fighting for half the population, and they demonstrably lost. We now have pre-1975 law, including horrific laws like Texas creating task forces hunting out women with miscarriages and abortions in other states.
They could have made the 'umbrella' of what they were fighting for cover 100% of the population. They didn't. We're all worse for it.

Other people could have stood by them and fought for those rights too. You're blaming the wrong people. Regardless of your intentions, you're not coming across well. I'd urge you to try reframing this, as you're not going to win many supporters outside of the alt-right pipeline as you're pitching it at the moment.
I don't want to accuse you of being a misogynist. Nor do I want to accuse you of being alt-right. But that is how you are coming across in your comments. Textual internet discourse always hides nuances. I'd really ask that you reconsider how you frame this, whether internally or externally, because as it stands, I don't think it's great.
