With abortion, the fact that you want the option to have one is treated as a priori indicating that your life and happiness are fundamentally irrelevant, and thereby bereft of weight against the chance of hypothetical person coming into existence whom they might like better

after all, if you want an abortion, it surely means you're gutter trash but your baby *might* turn out to be more valuable, so your own needs are no longer worthy of calculation. You are completely out of the accounting as long as there's this hypothetical person to hope for.

You know how in primary polling the candidates often perform more poorly than "generic Republican", or "generic Democrat" In this case, it's like a hospital denying you lifesaving medical treatment because they want to make sure they have a room ready if Generic Patient shows up

The real temerity of it is that quite often these people won't even bother denying you're right about your own needs There's no rhetorical demand to prove childhood transition WOULDN'T make trans people happier, or that going childless would make any person happier Who cares
