Abusive men, whether the silent type or physically violent, want obedience--power and control--from those they abuse. One thing that many men can't control is a baby being born in this world--but they will try and some will successfully get their way. A man, who is mentally unstable, doesn't ever want to feel powerless. His need for control over any and all situations is an obsession and when a victim thinks she is somehow getting the upper hand by having a baby anyway, she puts herself at risk of being killed. Thoughts play over and over in his mind on how to get his victims to do as he wishes irregardless of how they and others may feel.
