MODERATORS
I think the correct response is to ask that friend why are they trying to pivot the discussion from women abortion. Was she trying to rail you up? Discourage your argument or position by implying you're not good enough?
Honestly, she sounds like she preemptively gets offended on other people behalf, or like someone who weaponizes "being more PC than you".
Or she knows a pregnant man (I think the stats were about 100 a year get pregnant, most of them immediately go to a clinic) personally and decided it's the perfect time to use that fact to win the discussion? Or virtue signaling? I mean I'm assuming something is wrong with her, because that situation is random and unexpected.
