A lot more unwanted babies
Or a lot more omelets.
Fewer. A lot fewer.
Chicken eggs aren't typically fertilized: Hens and roosters are usually isolated from eachother. Eggs aren't chicken fetuses. Eggs are chicken menstruation.
Menstruating women will lay an egg every month, fertilized or not. It won't be unusual to dispose of an unwanted egg. So, there will be far fewer unwanted babies.
Human men and women are not isolated. They fuck like rabbits already, less consequences would mean a lot more unprotected sex.
My point was that you don't need no man to lay an egg. They are going to be popping out all the time, and not all of them are going to be fertile. Those sterile eggs are going to be disposed of.
But sterile eggs aren't going to be the only ones disposed of.
Even if it's fertile, it's only going to become a baby if it's incubated for 9 months. She's not going to incubate an egg she doesn't want. She's going to dispose of it like every sterile egg she lays. There aren't going to be many unwanted babies. Certainly fewer than we currently have.
Ha, I like your optimism that anti-abortion/anti-womens bodily autonomy types wouldn't immediately try to start controlling the unfertile eggs. Plenty of them think contraceptives are evil after all, which is equivalent to discarding infertile eggs before they get fertilized.
We would see efforts to track women's egg laying cycles and criminalize discarding them within the period they can still be fertilized. (See IRL Indiana attempting to make individual abortion reports public instead of as anonymized, aggregate data for studies).
Abortion is 7/3/1 on referenda since Roe was overturned. IMO, the contemptible fuckwits you're talking about aren't worth dragging into our little hypothetical.
Counterpoint: see similar IRL fuckwits in Texas progressing their similarly stupid agenda. Do not discount the fuckwits simply because they seem small in number and influence today.
Hell, even just lost babies. Where did I put that thing again?
