"Trivializing it that way, diminishes the hard ship that woman undergo when they make that decision. "

all women?

You literally removed the one sentence in my post that would have answered your question.  

"Deciding to have an abortion is not an easy thing for the vast majority of women."

Most questions starting with "all" are going to be false, because there are 7 billion people and all of them are different.

"Just because those things are "resources" doesn't mean they are viewed in the same way.  

Society makes distinctions with different types of resources, you should too.  "

that's actually a fair argument i suppose how relevant my comparison is hinges on why democrats believe people should be obligated to give their resources up for programs like ubi

to me it looks like the reasoning can be applied to unborn children in the same way since it is argued that people who are less fortunate should be given the means to survive from those who are more fortunate

why do you think this excludes children?

it doesn't exclude "children".  

The typical argument is that people should be able to have control over what is inside their bodies.

"Sure. "

do you disagree that unborn babies are probably the least fortunate and most vulnerable group there is?

I disagree with "least fortunate", I would agree with "most vulnerable".  

""Deciding to have an abortion is not an easy thing for the vast majority of women.""

is there any statistical data on this? 

"Most questions starting with "all" are going to be false, because there are 7 billion people and all of them are different. "

within the sentence i quoted you were generalising heavily and i thought that i should refute it because you weren't taking women with opposing views into account, and that's not fair to those women who you are not representing

"The typical argument is that people should be able to have control over what is inside their bodies."

yes i understand that, but what i'm saying is that there's no consistency here because the same people would argue that your body should be controlled for the good of society when some resources are taken from you for programs such as ubi

you obviously have to work harder to gather those additional resources so your bodily autonomy is reduced as a result

"I disagree with "least fortunate", I would agree with "most vulnerable".  "

why do you think they are less entitled to live than the poor?

i suppose you'd say that the poor under programs like ubi are not restricting the bodily autonomy of others like with pregnancy but that's not true since people have to work harder to support programs like ubi
