Look, I get the appeal of bodily autonomy arguments. I really do. But let's think about this from a game theory perspective. Every abortion eliminates a potential player from the game entirely. That's not a choice between two options—it's ending one option forever.
When we talk about morality, we're talking about how we treat other individuals. The fetus isn't just a cluster of cells by the third trimester—it's a developing human with its own genetic code. If we frame this as a prisoner's dilemma between mother and child, the child can't even cooperate or defect. It's completely defenseless.
I'm not saying women should have zero choices. But the moral weight here is huge. We're deciding who gets to play the game at all. That's a line we shouldn't cross lightly.
