Just because some women choose to have no obligation to bear a future person into the world does not invalidate that people should care about those future persons who will actually be born.
If you are pro-abortion then in principle you must except the possibility that a time will come when no humans will be born. Some would say that since the probability is not zero that every woman who gets pregnant has an abortion....given enough time such situation will come to pass.
It seems to me that abortion "rights" rest on a concept that the wants and needs of those living today supersede the wants and needs of those who will live in the future....or might have lived if they weren't killed in the womb. If this is true...why should I care if I destroy the planet for future generations?
