Because depending on your viewpoint there’s multiple persons rights at play. The woman, the man, the “child”. They need to be balanced some way.

The child is not a child nor a person. Not even the Catholic church considers a fetus a person, nor the government (as you can't get a tax deduction for your fetus). I used to be fairly religious and godfathered a couple of kids. Neither of them were baptized in the womb though. Or maybe I had the 'wrong' religion?

If you think the fetus is a person, then don't get an abortion. It's super easy. And if your fetus is killing you, then feel free to die for your beliefs.

There is no child in the picture, only an unborn fetus.
