I like how you completely ignore the man's options for not getting someone pregnant. Like, say masturbation, abstention, non-vaginal sex, sex with people who can't get pregnant, vasectomy, and condoms. But somehow it's all the woman's problem, isn't it?

Isn't that the same logic anti-abortion activists use to argue against a woman's right to choose? She should have kept her legs closed, birth control exists, abstinence, etc. It's pretty odd to me that you don't see the hypocrisy in that.

It must be nice to live in a world where rape and coercion don't exist, where every pregnancy is carried to term without endangering the life of the mother, and where every child is born entirely healthy. Unfortunately, the rest of us have to live in reality, not your pleasing little fantasy world.

That's a very convenient exit ramp from introspection you've created for yourself. Unfortunately it's not even internally consistent logic, much less a convincing counterpoint.
