Going back to the "consent" argument i want to make this point. When a man and a woman have sex they both should understand that a child could be born and they would both be legally responsible for raising and supporting that child.
However since the physical burden and other consequences of carring the child i.e. losing a job, dropping out of school, stunting a career, physical pain, possible death, etc are 100% on the woman then she has a right to terminate the pregnancy.
The man knows the possible consequences of his action but we cant give him the right to control the womans body and force her to carry the child.
The woman can't force the man to do anything that she would not also have to do and the man can't force the woman to do something he would not have to do. That is as fair as the law can be.
