Yes, exactly. And that discrimination is wrong. THAT IS MY POINT HERE.
I assert that the duty of healthy pregnant person (once the pregnancy has reached a certain length) is the following:
to care for her fetus/child either until it becomes an adult, or until she can find someone else to do it through an adoption.
I assert that the father has the same duties, though he cannot directly act on them until the child is born.
during the pregnancy this duty includes letting the fetus make use of her bodily resources.
these duties do not include: the duty to give up her bodily resources to anyone else, or the duty to care for anyone else's children.
if those duties amount to discimination, than I believe that sort of discimination is completely justified.

Unless you insist that EVERYBODY must give bodily resources against their will to save lives, then it is discrimination.
I insist that everyone has the duty to give up their bodily resources to their fetus, but not to save lives in general, but this is only directly applicable to women. the father has the duty to help support the mother during her pregnancy, but that is as much as men are capible of doing. if the father were capible of fully sharing that duty, he would be obligated to do so as well.

When you excuse yourself from the duty you want to force on the pregnant woman, then it is discrimination AND hypocricy.
I do not excuse myself or anyone from those duties.
