We already know that banning abortion means women dying. Men that call phoetuses "babies" and abortion muder do it because they want to ban abortion. So while it might be uncomfortable to hear for you, in practice, you want women to die.

And I explicitly answered your question:

1. A phoetus is not a baby. That is a lie you tell. If it was a baby, then you wouldn't mind if it is extracted earlier. After all, "what is the difference?". If at 37 weeks is the same as a baby, then you wouldn't mind if we take it outside the woman's body. If at 16 weeks is an "unborn baby", then it doesn't matter if we take it out and give it for adoption the same way that we can do with a baby. Right? But no, the difference is that the phoetus need the woman's body to develop. not just to survive, to develop. The phoetus is using the woman's body. And if the woman doesn't want to be pregnant/wants an abortion, is using her body against her will. And causing changes in her body that can be life threatening against her will.

Ololade and you know the difference or you wouldn't trying to ban abortion.

Sure, you might want to say that you'll make exceptions to "save the woman's life", but in practice what we see is what happened to Savita. What we see is life threatening conditions not being treated because if it is just a "fistula" or any injury, is not life threatening, just a serious injury that would make the woman a cripple.

So it is not mind reading, it is logic and confronting you with the actual consecuences of banning abortion, not the idealiced world where the phoetuses are babies and pregnancies take 5 minutes, birth 30 seconds and the woman recovers instantly.
