There is no baby. A collection of tissue is not a baby. A 12-week fetus is no more of a baby than a kidney or a spleen.
Many times we have gone over this, apparently your recarcitrant "pro-life" vanished on the prospect of forcing a parent donate a bone marrow, a kidney, a piece of liver or even blood. Hopefully no parent would ever deny that to their child (assuming compatibility) but apparently, making it official and codifying this under law might be a bit too much for people like you. Yet, forcing a woman to deliver a baby... no big deal.
This week I admitted a woman a few weeks after her delivery. She was short of breath, we suspected peripartum cardiomyopathy, we confirmed it with an echocardiogram that showed her ejection fraction at only 15% (normal is 60%+). This is heart failure, at this EF, she can develop a deadly arrhythmia called ventricular tachycardia and drop dead. She is in her 20's, was completely healthy prior to her pregnancy.
Pregnancy is dangerous. It makes the woman anemic, it makes the woman immunosuppressed, it makes the woman have a higher chance of developing blood clots (and the gravid uterus presses on the blood return, which further increases the chances of developing clots in the legs that can dislodge and travel to the lungs and kill the woman).
An unwanted pregnancy is not "just an inconvenience". It is a live changing event. It has a relatively small (on a population level) but REAL chances of being lethal and/or disabling.
Forcing a human being to undergo this sort of body punishment out of spite "because you didnt use a condom" or any other dumb reason is inhuman.

So the government doesn't give you free stuff therefore kill babies? That's stupid and evil.
Therefore kill babies? Wow, that's worse than Hitler.
You have a lot of excuses lined up to support the killing of babies.
