Thought a guy had good politics. He was anti-abortion and every justification he tried to give further revealed his right-wing views.

It really was a case study in how you can't oppose abortion without laying it on a foundation of a conservative worldview.
Complete ignorance on what pregnancy and childbirth actually do to a woman's body:
But not entirely fair. I mean "severe and devistating consequences" ... Abortions are that... And could be avoided with a condom
What is relevant, is that I don't know what the complication rate of birth compared to the complication rate of abortion is. I honestly suspect you don't either. But I am willing to admit I don't know
And after the baby is born? Well, yes, the father has consequences too. He has to pay child support.
Pushing the personal responsibility button:
Choices you made in life have consequences. You CHOSE to have sex. You CHOSE not to use a condom. Now you are pregnant. And you have to live with the consequences.
Supporting eugenics:
If someone is so goddamn stupid that they can't understand the basic idea of using a comdom? Then yes, perhaps they should abort and not procreate.
If you go swimming in an area that has a clearly posted warning sign that says "Do not swim! Dangerous rip current and undertow!" And you ignore the warning? You think society has any obligation to save you?
After I replied "Yes, obviously":
You decided your life was forfeit when you ignored the signs telling you "This will kill you." I mean if you know the risks of doing something, and choose to do it despite knowing the risks? That's on you. And I don't think is a political view one way or the other
Not getting the whole "choice" part of pro-choice:
By that definition, all babies are parasites and should be killed
Comparing women to literal fucking livestock:
Do you think it is wrong for me to breed horses? As in that I don't care about mares because they have foals and I am risking their health by doing so? Even though complication rates are extremely low?
And then denying it:
But I don't consider animals to be legal property.
