Yes, the post hoc fallacy.
Assuming the difference she is making isn’t just to carry on the idea to more women that abortion is fine.
Abortion is not the unforgivable sin. But abortion is not fine.
Murdering children ... [shrug] ... some people are just into it.
Who dies, idiot? You or the baby?
If she wanted “control”, she should have considered a condom or birth control.
This is exactly how people think who support abortion. The life of the child doesn’t matter .. it’s just more of me me me me me me. Selfish, self-centered people should never have had children to begin with.
If she still thinks it’s about her and not that infant she is still too selfish and immature for motherhood. I wish she had waited a while longer.
“Who dies, idiot? You or the baby?”
Well actually both.
She dies mentally. Sometimes she dies physically.
They are claiming selfishness is a virtue?
I guess selfishness seems like a lesser sin than murder so they are grasping at it.
“Women Matter More Than Fetuses Do.” I don’t suppose she realizes that women (and men of course) used to be fetuses. At what point does she suppose women’s lives have value?
I can’t think of a bigger soul stealer than to be raised in the notion that selfishness is a virtue.

spoiled and entitled from the get-go
And with such a shrunken idea of life.
This is because contraception has two principal results, one intended and one unintended.
A contraceptive reduces the odds of any particular act of intercourse resulting in pregnancy.
But the easy availability of contraceptives spawns a mentality which holds that intercourse, once intended for procreation and for pleasure, is now intended for pleasure and nothing else.
The first (intended) consequence has resulted in fewer births per x number of acts of intercourse, albeit with a 3% - 30% typical-use failure rate (Link about contraceptive effectiveness, a disturbing one if you're naive about this subject). The second (unintended) consequence has been a massive increase in the frequency of intercourse between people who are not married to each other, hardly even like each other, are not building a life together, and/or, even if married, have no intention of being co-responsible for a baby.
Altogether, 53% of unplanned pregnancies occur to women who are using contraceptives (that includes the Pill, condoms, jellies, jams, and sprays), but nearly 100% of these women are surprised, affronted, feel angry, betrayed, etc. by the now-shocking fact that sex led to pregnancy.
Contraceptives were the paraphernalia of Ye Olde Sexual Revolution. That's old news. That happened 50 years ago. What's happened since --- the 50 million American abortions and the 30% American illegitimacy rate (in the most contraceptive - subsidized communities, 70% illegitimacy) is the result.
What an evil witch. I cannot imagine how awful a ‘mother’ she will be
Maybe having an actual live baby will change her mind. Many people have learned that you cannot be selfish and be a good parent. On the other hand, maybe if it cries too much at 3 am and interrupts her womanly sleep, she’ll just smother it.
And the irony is there are other couples who are doing everything short of whistling Yankee Doodle on their heads to conceive somehow, anyhow.
And also that patiently sharing love with one who needs it generally has gratifyingly good results.
And thus made indiscriminate sex more and more common.
And yet. Even if somehow we COULD factor out the children (for pure hypothesis’ sake) we can’t erase the fact that there isn’t any condom for your heart. Love is cheapened when it is treated as a sport.
It is truly sad selfishness. May God grant her the grace to see that true love is to willingly sacrifice self for others.
