The left's counter argument will be "her body, her choice". They are absolutely convinced that mothers should be allowed to kill their own offspring as long as it's still inside her body.
So, 'her body, her choice', but then if the father wants to keep it, tough shit, he's got no say in the matter, but then if the mother wants to keep it, dad better prepare for a lifetime of having his wages garnished for child support (unless he's black, in which case he's scot free and mom will just soak the taxpayers for WIC, SNAP, welfare, free school lunches and now also breakfasts, etc. etc. etc.). Yep. seems reasonable.
it really is often the other way around. Women rarely choose to get abortions, its the father and families who do the choosing for them. If abortions were not legal, they would not be able to pressure mothers into them. In the rare case that the woman has sufficient agency to get an abortion, yes, if the father says no she can say "well it's my choice and my body" etc. But it's mostly irrelevant and conceals the fact that abortions are not about a woman's choice, but about getting rid of inconvenient children.
Sometimes the couple agrees to have an abortion if the woman gets pregnant, but then once she is pregnant she changes her mind (he or his or her family doesn't, though.)
The fact of the matter is that abortions are mostly legal and most people are opportunistic and practical. This is why abortion must be illegal.
