i hate to strawman or appealing to extremes but its all too common, so a woman who is raped, or even more generally a woman who is impregnated knowing this will endanger her life or will be unviable, or a woman who simply does not want or have the financial or emotional perception to justify having a child... all of those, to you, are celebrations and should under no circumstances be terminated at the carrier's will?

i can do the mental gymnastics to wrap my head around a person being anti-choice. but the generality that the very act of being pregnant is necessarily a celebration feels wildly unsympathetic to nuance or circumstance and feels devoid of reason.
