There is no polar extreme opposite of the anti abortion argument. It doesn’t exist.

Bold claim. Let me introduce you to some misanthropic extremists who want all babies aborted, and all people killed.

Nobody is happy about getting an abortion.

Bold claim. Let me introduce you to some edge case exceptional ladies.

Some people might feel relief, but it’s not something they want to go through.

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.
