Gender is NOT a social construct

There are cases of boys who are born with malformed genitals and cirurgically changed into girls, who grow up believing they are girls and end up finding out they were men despite all the social construction (that usually starts when they start feeling attracted to girls).

Abortion should be illegal.

Saying abortion is a matter of conflict of rights (woman's body x soon-to-be new person's body with 50% of DNA not belonging to the woman) is to conveniently forget that adoption is legal. There is no such thing as a conflict of rights when there is at least one option which avoids it.

If a man gets a woman pregnant under the impression she was on birthcontrol, and she wishes to keep the child but he does not, then he should be able to opt out of any legal responsibilities

Being alive with no welfare is still better than being aborted.

Abortion should be illegal.

laws exist to define rights connected to duties, following an isonomy principle. Thus: 1) once abortion is legal, it can't be legal to force a man to take responsability for his child (isonomy) 2) what duties correspond to the right of choosing an abortion? Proving the use of contraception?

It is irrelevant because many countries today have fertility rates insufficient to mantain their own deficitary social security systems. The rising cost of retirements takes away much more money than both costs mentioned by you. The public debt per capita is growing even where abortion is illegal.

So at 4.99 months it is not murder but at 5 months it is? How can murder be defined by WHEN it happened rather than by the ACT itself? Human life, as any life, is a process and not a state. That process starts in the fecundation and not 5 months after it. Cheek cells do not develop into humans.
