That's the one pro-life argument that I can sympathize with. I imagine if you ask 99% of people if they'd rather not have been born then they would probably respond in the negative. A fetus can't have preferences, and restricting a woman's rights based on time travel doesn't make sense, but even if only from an emotional standpoint it's still not entirely irrelevant.
Nine months of not wanting to be pregnant, followed by a lifetime of potential regret for whatever choice the woman makes (keeping the kid or putting them up for adoption), along with whatever **** also befalls the woman, doesn't really trump a person's feelings about not wanting to be dead. Again though, time travel, but still.
