Thank you. Could you now please state the arguments plainly, so I can see
what they actually are, shorn of the arrogance and disrespect.

Also I would appreciate a considered response to my arguments.

---Liz's arguments, restated for your convenience---

On top of avoiding suffering for me and the potential child, there is also
the fact that it is natural for females to spontaneously abort unwanted
offspring. It happens all the time in the animal kingdom, including humans.

Men don't like the idea that women might have control over their own
bodies, they want passive incubators who will just say "yes master, I will
spread your genes" - that's the inner voice Alberto apparently wants me to
have and listen to, but I actually have another one.

I *thought* I was listening to my inner voice, I just couldn't marshal my
thoughts sufficiently to put it into words earlier. It wasn't the "yes
master" voice that Alberto is talking about, the voice that says "hop into
bed with this plausible rogue then suffer the consequences when he leaves
you holding the baby."

I have another, more sensible, inner voice, also the product of millions of
years of evolution, that says "Well, he's gone and left me up the duff and
in the lurch... but I can do better than this. Rather than ruin my life and
the life of the person this bunch of cells will grow into if I let it,
instead I'm going to cut my losses and try again."
