As much as I think Peanut's original post was stupid, it didn't remotely suggest anything bad about her as a human being.
I can't say that about this post and you.

There’s just no point debating it. It’s also offensive to be called stupid so I’m not encouraged to engage. I actually find the debate really upsetting and also I’m on my phone so I’m not my most eloquent.. I think all arguments at some point relegate the woman to a carrier with no or limited rights, because the fetus needs to live. But her rights don’t suddenly become “restored” once she’s had the baby, because it’s now a living being that needs love, care, and support (financial and otherwise) for 18 years. So it’s actually now a lifetime of imposed restrictions that the woman did not actively choose. And you can argue for adoption, but there’s plenty of kids who don’t get adopted and instead live their childhoods in foster care and whatever else less than ideal circumstances.
To me (at least in our Canadian system) the simplest message really is “if you don’t want an abortion, don’t have one”. I think it includes men in the message - they are involved in birth control decisions (or they should be!) and in the vast majority of cases would be involved in the decision to terminate a pregnancy.
