Why do you think it is okay to force a woman to carry a baby to term that she does not want? Do you have any idea what a woman goes through while carrying a baby? The hormones and mood swings. The extra weight on their bodies. The havoc having something growing inside you and pushing up against other organs. The expansion of their private areas. Having a baby is no walk in the park, so why would a woman want to subject themselves to that process if they were just going to give the baby up after the fact.
THIS is an argument that I don't get. The expectation that it is fine to expect a woman to go through months of discomfort and changes when it is not something she wants in the first place. This is crazy.

I believe that my response to Frankster above addresses most of your points, but to respond to the bolded: because the alternative involves ending a human life, which I view as the more heinous violation of human rights.
