I don't think you're robbing anyone; you chose a partner and she chose you as well. Makes total sense.

It just depends on what kind of person you'd like to be with. Anti-choice people refuse to accept that abortion is a complex topic that involves societal aspects, financial aspects, and a moral one as well. When I say "moral", I don't mean the aspect of taking a life; I'm referring to how it could be immoral for some people to have children if they don't want them and will not treat them well, resulting in abuse within families, or at least in children who are unloved and neglected, and grow up to be unhappy people. And there are many more examples of how having a kid could be immoral, with a bright one being birthing a child from an abusive partner. The financial aspect is heavy too, especially for countries where there is no proper childcare policy, affordable healthcare or good social programs. There are many levels to the topic of abortion, and "I believe it's a human life that cannot be taken" is a reply of a poorly education and emotionally immature person, who also doesn't realize that their own opinion must not affect other people.

On top of that, it's crucial to have enough intellectual capability to analyze the situation that's happening in any community or country, and make the best decision for the entire society. The categorical ban on abortions in some states resulted in horrendous instances of women dying due to hospitals refusing to save their lives. There are other examples of how electing Donald Trump has been damaging to the United States and to women's rights altogether.

I wouldn't come within a mile to such a person, let alone date them, as these views constitute poor morals, selfishness, lack of intelligence and horible character. But we are all different.
