if you choose to do nothing instead of abortion then no one gets murdered lol

If I put a 50-pound box in your arms and walk away, would you consider it "doing nothing" to continue carrying it around as you go about your daily life instead of taking the deliberate action of putting it down?

Carrying a pregnancy to term very much is not "doing nothing." It can be argued that it's the passive state, while abortion is the active one, but that distinction has absolutely no value outside of discussing the fundamental logic. Whether it's technically passive or not, pregnancy is a lot to endure and generally does require quite a few deliberate actions to reduce the risk of harm to both mother and baby (perhaps the most obvious of which is "push"). Diminishing that to "doing nothing" really shows just how little you understand the sacrifice that you want to force other people to make (while never having the risk of ever having to make it yourself). You shouldn't inject yourself into discussions of matters that you understand so poorly.

Pregnancy is a life-threatening condition that permanently maims the body. We to not use State violence to force people to preserve the lives of others at their own expense; it doesn't even matter if you consider a fetus to be a human being or not. Wanded's ethics are completely inconsistent.
