I find this argumentation very weird. It is still in her body, it's a part of her body. No one should have these kinds of rights over another person's body. A person who actually is already alive, btw (the woman is also a living person).

Do you think people should be forced to donate organs? I feel this is a better analogy where men are actually included and can't just stand by an watch how others are forced into stuff.

She chose to kill a baby that would have been alive had she given birth to it right there and then - that's what makes this case different to someone getting an abortion at 8 weeks.

By having your carbon footprint, you're causing the death of billions of humans who would be alive in the future.

You're not going to get anywhere making dumb arguments like that.

You're not going to get anywhere making zero arguments.
