You must realize that not all laws are just, eh? Legalized
slavery
in the US was never just, although it was legal.

So if you are not a Christian then what is your basis for the
allegation that abortion is wrong?

Quite possibly the forced aspect of it, I'd guess.

If it's not morally wrong then why is the forced aspect of it
wrong?
The women know the law.


So if someone makes a law saying you have to eat two servings of
pickeled pigs' feet per day, you should obey because you know the
law?

My father loved 'em. They make me puke. That kind of force is wrong.

No, if the law says that if you scratch your balls in public you have
to eat two servings of pickled pigs feet you shouldn't scratch your
balls in public unless you are willing to eat two servings of pickled
pigs feet.

It's not a case of being forced to do something with no antecedent,
it's a case of one act being the consequence of another.
