It's a little unfair to compare the 2 scenarios imo because a women knows when she risks getting pregnant. "As opposed to "taken randomly in a hospital against your wishes".
My philosophy is that life is precious, but the opportunity for happiness in life is even more important. Otherwise what's the point of "living".
I don't subscribe to religious bullshit where life is a struggle and a test.
Might you feel differently about ‘a woman knows when she risks getting pregnant’ if pregnancy-via-rape was added to the thought experiment?
