Repeating a false dichotomy does not make it true.
And if you heard nothing about the rights of the woman in what I wrote, then read my post again. Or to save you time I'll restate the position, the issue is potentially two conflicting rights. One would be the woman's and one the unborn child. There is a strong argument that the latter is a non-entity in the first two trimesters so I'm not defending the position. But I'm not going to strawman it either. Your right to liberty ends where someone else's begins. That is the essentials of the argument.
