"Who put you or the government in charge of determining whether or not a woman must involuntarily experience the most consequential activity she will ever face - the development of a potential human being inside her body for 9 months and then endure a process which few modern women now endure without pain killing drugs. "

Who put the woman or anyone else in charge of determining whether or not a baby must involuntarily experience the most consequential activity he/she will ever face - death.

You are redefining terms. The vast majority of people do not define the unborn as a baby. Until you come into this world and have a "birth day", you are not independently experiencing this human environment.

LIFE put women in charge of determining whether or not they will give birth.

How about the cases where giving birth would very likely cause the death of the mother, would you advocate that outcome?

I disagree that human death is the most consequential thing we humans experience. Everyone dies, it is not optional. Everyone does not have the possibility of giving birth. If the human experiences are prevented from beginning, that is quite different than dying when you are an adult parent with other family members dependent upon you, which is different than dying when you are old and no longer able to function.
