There is no polar extreme opposite of the anti abortion argument. It doesn't exist.
Nobody is happy about getting an abortion. Some people might feel relief, but it's not something they want to go through.
Bold claim. Let me introduce you to some misanthropic extremists who want all babies aborted, and all people killed.
Bold claim. Let me introduce you to some edge case exceptional ladies.
Some may indeed, but also, some rare few are going further. ... Some of which I suspect an irrational reflexive over-"correction" to a hostile groupthink and the language used, unfortunately creating the counter-groupthink, even unto, as mentioned in my original comment there, mass formation and totalitarianised psyche, where any and all atrocities are seen as necessary virtues. I don't think being arrogantly presumptive and ignorant in denial of such socio-psyche problems lends any real world help to create the nice world in your mind where such extremes do not exist, not even in your imagination. We've much to mend in this world.
Also the equivalent extreme to the anti choice side would be "everyone is forced to have abortions" which while something close has been done (namely via population control methods and eugenics) those are widely agreed upon by the pro choice side to be similarly evil to prohibiting all abortions for the same reason (denial of bodily autonomy). In fact, in the modern day the eugenicists typically vote for the same parties as the ones wanting to prohibit abortions.
Thanks for getting it.
From a couple of the other replies here, I was starting to feel gaslight; I was starting to feel ilithiophbia.
Yep. Same basic political philosophy of them telling others what to do, what they can do, what they can't do, who they can be, who's allowed to be, etc..
