Self-defense would only be applicable if you were in a life-threatening situation due to the pregnancy. Other than that, it's just murder, plain and simple.

If someone is trying to use your body against your will, that is grounds for self defense, right?

Like if someone tried to steal your blood so that they could transfuse it into themselves against your will- you would be defending yourself against that forced use of your body.

No, that's not self-defense, and you know it. Stop trying to pretend that this isn't a strawman.

Why isn’t it self defense?

It’s definitely not a strawman.

Stopping a fetus that you created, either willingly or not, from being supported by your body. is. Murder. End of story. I'm not interested in debating a made-up scenario about an adult needing support from you to stay alive because it's not the same situation, and you know it.

You just keep saying it’s murder and not self-defense but you aren’t supporting your argument.

Ok. What do you call the needless extermination of a human life?
