Worst. "Pro-Life." Argument. Ever.

…makes another appearance in the august pages of the Wall Street Journal. Most of the truly bad arguments made by the forced pregnancy lobby result from an understandable unwillingness to apply one’s purported principles with even a modicum of consistency. The “but would you have wanted to be aborted?” argument, conversely, is just mind-blowingly stupid on its face.
