I agree with you that the law needs to remain the same however a womens right to make the choice certainly doesnt come from the discomfort or risk of child birth. It comes from the fact that you dictate how someone treats their body. However the morality of abortion and the legality of abortion are two completely different issues.
To your argument above if you think that a women shouldnt have an obligation to go through the horrors of preganacy for a child they do not want to have would you agree that men should be afforded an equal right to avoid the financial obligations and inconvenience of having a child that he doesnt want to have
