Paying child maintenance from the moment the woman is confirmed pregnant?

Since they believe it is a baby from the moment it’s created; if they aren’t with the mother; they should be responsible for paying for that child; in the US that would have to cover medical expenses too.

Of course they are. When do they become a person, in your view?

There's a reason the abortion limit is where it is. I'm sure you can work it out. You are of course free to have as many pregnancies as YOU like.

This is the fundamental difference I have with anti-choicers: how does it affect them? Their daughter, mum, sister, neighbour, kids’ teacher etc could have all had abortions and they’ll never know, because it will never affect them. It’s not a public health issue, so it’s no one else’s business. It’s not a safeguarding issue - or if it is the victim is the woman. So therefore it’s of no concern for anyone to intervene. How does it actually affect anyone other than the pregnant woman? Anti-choice rhetoric is philosophical waffle with absolutely no practical sense
