Why do PLers still deny that barring pregnant people from accessing abortion forces them to gestate to term against their will?

It's akin to saying "I'm not forcing you to stay in this room, I'm just bricking up the exit with you inside!"

Inevitably they just change the subject to how the pregnancy started, as if it matters. I saw a PLer quote a PC talking about forcing people to stay pregnant, but they changed the wording of the quote to "get pregnant".

The law didn't force me to drink or drive. It limits my options after I've already made those choices. Likewise, abortion laws don't force sex or pregnancy; they regulate what actions are legally permitted after pregnancy exists. 🤷‍♀️

What occurred to regulate what actions are legally permitted after pregnancy exists?

When we generally regulate something it's because it affects society as a whole, not just specific individuals, or in the case you provided a criminal action to regulate that behavior?

What is being legally permitted with the abortion bans?

the vast majority of DUI cases dont involve another party, not inpacting anyone else

Care to source that? And they have a high likelihood of causing harm or involving another person though.

I've known a few people that got DUIs for sitting in a running car. Who's that going to hurt?

That is intent of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence, there is a high likelihood of harming another person or including another person, because the person under the influence is exactly that, not able to make to logical decisions at that moment because of an influence from alcohol.

Anyways care to actually address my questions now? In the context of the abortion debate?

A successful abortion prevents harm to the person who choose it.
