They don’t have a voice as they are not constitutionally eligible to have one.

I am a conservative and I have no problem with charging a mother and a provider.
Your ploy is obvious. But we don’t have to play.

Victims are created by the actions of others, not their own.

Compared to the DNC campaign budget and their PACs driving Pro-Choice arguments would be a better comparison.

The laws of the jurisdiction where the deed occurred determine the legal standpoint. If it isn’t against the law to hire a contractor and end your husband’s life in the jurisdiction, then it isn’t.
As to moral standpoint ending an adult’s life is no more, or less, immoral than taking the life of an unborn child’s.

The “my body, my choice” logic is like inviting a friend over for a dinner party, they bring their spouse, but then you dismember the spouse or starve them by putting them inside your basement and hiding the body.
I don’t turn my back on them. I always, ALWAYS get resources to them, offer to help with anything I can from chores to lending them some money- I say lend but I really don’t expect it back. In the very least, I drop everything that I’m doing and listen to them and empathize.
I would be willing to bet I’m not the only pro-lifeer who does this.

Many teen girls and DV victims are duped into abortions, either through threats/manipulation or just ignorance of what options are out there.
That hurts to know that every day these vulnerable women are being manipulated by their spouse, parents, or the abortion industry. It’s not fair to them.

Well, if some states are going to effectively outlaw abortion, is it surprising that those with the means to do so will simply travel to other states?
No, it’s still a dumb, incoherent comparison.
Not in the least. Middle class and up will still have access to abortions, the poor who can’t afford to travel will be suppressed.
Since the poor vote more DEM, one wonders if that will bite the GOP in the long run.

I expect that in places like California, retroactive abortion will become the new frontier.
Life is terminal and inherently involves suffering, so every child could be classified as “terminally ill” and eligible for parent-approved “assisted suicide”. Similar laws already exist in parts of Europe.

Maybe eventually taking the life of an unborn child will be come as reprehensible to everyone as taking the life of a 3 month old child.

It clearly isn’t, though—and even pro-life people don’t act like it is.
Here’s what I mean: if there was a medical specialty/field in which mothers routinely took their three-month olds (or however old) to an office where the result was the child being vaporized and sent up a chimney, wouldn’t people be doing more to stop it than they are with abortion? As with slavery, genocide, and other horrors, it seems like the entire legal system which upheld such a thing would be illegitimate and therefore, invite morally justified law-breaking and morally justified violence to protect thousands and thousands of lives. But that rarely ever happens. Why?

I guess my only explanation for this is that people have been told over and over that the body inside a woman’s body is not a separate life and some people believe it.

Absolutely no surprise at all.
Likewise no surprise that California would boast about being an abortion mecca.
