What if she got pregnant during a one night stand and the father is long gone?
What if the father doesn't provide consent? She's forced to take a pregnancy to full term because some schmuck is being an asshole?
Women don't get pregnant. Men get women pregnant. "Don't worry, baby, I'll pull out in time." "Don't worry, baby, I've had a vasectomy."
Women in some cases don't have full control over whether or not they get pregnant. So, they should have absolute control over whether or not they bring a pregnancy to term.
Activist anti-abortionists are pure, nauseating assholes. I can respect the pro-life perspective to the extent that - if you're opposed to abortion, then don't have one. And impart that as a personal, moral value throughout your family.
But when you reach out into the statutory space that affects all of society's ability to control every aspect of their own family planning - up to and including the RIGHT to terminate an unwanted pregnancy - then you're an imperialistic, arrogant, hypocritical, selfish, pompous, holier-than-thou asshat.
