You see things the way you do because you are, by definition, a flat earther. Following your logic, if a sufficient number of people said that the sun now revolves around the earth, you would necessarily go along without regard to what the science said. You clearly have no basis for your position other than "they believe it too". That is a logical fallacy known as an appeal to common practice, where X is a common action. Therefore X is correct / moral / justified / reasonable, etc. The basic idea behind the fallacy is that the fact that most people do X is used as "evidence" to support the action or practice. It is a fallacy because the mere fact that most people do something does not make it correct, moral, justified, or reasonable.
You are just one more pro choicer who has based your position on one or more logical fallacies. I don't blame you because it would be very difficult to effectively argue your position if you argued from a position of fact.

And what argument did you come up with, a statement that you, like so many other pro choicers are flat earthers and perfectly willing to ignore science in favor of the stories you tell yourself?
