The answer to your response is not gender specific.
You asked
Considering the finality of death, at what point are you comfortable with playing the odds of "usually doesn't"?
Why do I have to be a woman to answer that?
Because, legally, if you are not the mother; you have no say in the matter. If my wife got pregnant and decided to have an abortion, I could not legally stop her.
And people ignore medical advice all the time. What do you care if they do?
Because I see the consequences of it as a medical student.
Again not your choice but theirs.
I agree. My issue with this, again, is in telling other women that they should also ignore medical advice.
