But not all the consequences fall on the woman if you believe the embryo to be a human being, which is what Tiberius' point is. I don't agree with him, but his reasoning is that he is defending a human life.
I would have thought the woman's womb was the only portion of either prospective parent which would directly bear the brunt of any government intrusion.
Of course the person who would be born if the woman decides to carry the unwanted pregnancy to term has a very great stake in her decision. I'm simply unwilling to tell the woman what she must do with her womb. I wouldn't envy her the predicament she is in. There are no good choices available if she has good reason not to want the baby. Let the poor woman at least have the final say.
