It’s reducto absurdism rather than a false equivalence. You did not state that the babies life was important as part of the reason for your argument. Your argument boils down to it’s okay to kill a baby if it’s father was horrible. What did the fetus do to deserve to die. Why is the trauma of carrying a baby you don’t want because of rape different than the trauma of carrying a baby that the state is forcing on you. In both cases you are losing control over your body.
You are treating pregnancy as punishment for sex. So you create an exemption because you don’t want to punish the rape victim.
