Basically what happens during pregnancy, obviously.
The sacrifice could be anything as minimal as a slow degradation in mobility, physical pain and nausea. It could be as extreme as life threatening kidney, liver and other organ complications, vomiting 10x-20x a day for 9 months, constant migraine headaches, intense back, neck and shoulder pain, loss of the ability to control your bladder and bowels, and months spent hospitalized.
Peripherally, it is minimally a minor inconvenience for those at your workplace (depending on your job), or being unable to perform your job altogether for upwards of 15 months (when including the time after-birth) and being removed from projects or potentially losing your job (though indirectly, it still occurs).

This is just another instance of personal experience driving opinion, rather than collective knowledge. "It was easy for me!" doesn't mean it's easy for other women, or beyond that, that a woman wants to deal with what another woman considers "easy".
Ultimately, forcing someone to at minimum, suffer pain and inconvenience for 9 months, and at worst, be put in a life threatening situation that may cause many health issues for their future (completely discluding mental effects, which are quite massive in some women), in unconscionable.
