Apparently doctors remove all your organs during a c-section and haphazardly sew them back in

Assuming again that he does want kids, if he truly loved OP, why would he expect her to compromise her bodily autonomy for an extended period of time to provide him with something he wants and she does not?

Well, I don't think anything is wrong with a woman who isn't really sold on the idea of kids deciding to give it a go even though they aren't sold on the idea just because her partner wants to. There's no loss of bodily autonomy there. She's doing it willingly.

I'm actually in that situation now. I got pregnant accidentally and was sort of leaning towards abortion, but my boyfriend said he'd rather I had it. He didn't threaten me, coerce me, etc. Just said, "It's your choice, but I think I want a baby now. I'm 30 and you're 27, so we aren't exactly too young and my job could support it." So I agreed. I'm actually getting sort of excited myself now that I'm 5 months in and can feel it moving and stuff. It might be horrible and I may only consent to do it once depending on how the kid acts, but it'll be a journey and I'm going to be the best mother I can.

So I don't think it's always a bad thing or a loss of bodily autonomy if a woman decides to have kids at her partner's choosing (providing he didn't threaten her or any of that), as long as she isn't completely against the idea or anything and is willing to at least try to be a parent for the kid.

Hell, my mom did that for my dad. Twice.

And for the record, I'd feel the same about a man choosing to get his wife pregnant because it's what she wants and he's willing to give it a go. I just didn't include it here since it was more of a bodily autonomy discussion.
