There's no worse hypocrite than the anti abortionist who would let a woman die rather than have an abortion. To value the POTENTIAL life of the fetus more highly than an actual living sentinent female is the height of immorality. Yet it's what the Catholic Church and some other denominations preach.
And since men can't get pregnant and will never die due to pregnancy or childbirth there's a very strong argument to be made that their opinions should only be advisory and never codified.
Also I seem to remember that Orthodox Jews always choose the woman's life rather than the fetus because of biblical verse. I don't recall that Jesus weighed in on the topic, just like he didn't on homosexuality. (Paul did, but unlike the disciples Paul never knew Jesus, therefore his ability to speak for him is highly questionable)
