I think we might be better served to put research efforts into developing contraception to the point where both men and women have to decide consciously to conceive. The fact that the process of becoming pregnant is involuntary seems like an artifact of evolution; why keep it that way?
Certainly, that’s also a good point. Separating incubation from humans does seem like it would make people’s lives better (although there is the concern of reducing the mother’s bond with her child). However, as far as the goal of stopping abortions goes, I think it makes more sense to prevent pregnancy in the first place. That goal can be held even by those who don’t oppose abortion as murder (like myself), as we can still recognize that the process of unwanted pregnancy and abortion can take a physical and mental toll on those involved.

Going down this same road: why we should keep gestating humans inside other humans in the first place?
