From a lefty I know..."Yeah, it's murder, but that's okay as long as I view the victim as an inconvenience."

It's not "against your will" when you caused it. If it's predictable that by certain actions Nobel prize winners attach themselves to you, and die if they are detached, you could compare it. Right now, you can only compare it to rape, which 98% of people think is a permissible abortion condition.
Also, the past few years have shown just how much these people respect bodily autonomy.
The way that I think they should probably see it is as a hostage crisis.
You got pregnant, it was almost a guaranteed choice to have unprotected sex, and now that you have a child, deciding you no longer want it means killing someone who is literally dependent upon you and only you for their survival. We actually can't take the kid away from you to save it's life, because you are now holding it hostage.
A warm embrace is no longer a warm embrace when you put a gun to the head of the person you are embracing. The only way to save the hostage is for you to give birth.
