Well. You said she had had 8 months already to abort, so she should just put up and shut up in a way after that.
So I'd like to know if it matters to you if she was pressurised into keeping the baby during said 8 months.
I'm sure it matters to her.
But that is not relevant to what we as a society determine are the boundaries of human life and the balance of rights.

I then asked when else you thought a human life was disposable. No strawmen in there anywhere.
Whatever chas. I don't consider human life 'disposable', despite what you say. I hold the woman's right to bodily autonomy as the priority, regardless of situation. Call it what you want.
I call it libertarian bullshit.
The basic right upon which all other rights are contingent is the right to life.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
