It is still forced childbirth, obviously, because what else are you suggesting? You think after a certain point in pregnancy a woman should have to birth the child so others can adopt it. After a certain point you think the woman loses the right to chose for her own and now society has the right to dictate that she has to continue being pregnant and birth the child. I think it is important to fully realize that this is the consequence of your reasoning.

    Okay well once you have created a human it is no longer a choice to kill it. Yes you are forced to give birth to a child at that point due to not getting an abortion before you created a human. Why don't we allow abortions up to 2 years? There's not a big difference between a 7month old fetus and a 2 year old.

Why don't we allow parents to kill their kids up to 2 years? There's not a big difference between a 7month old fetus and a 2 year old.

    Maybe you feel like because the mother made the human it's her property and she can do whatever she wants with it? Big old atheist me, and the rest of the old don't see it that way. Once a human is fully formed, that human has its own right to life. The mother doesn't own it like property, it's a human being at that point with its own rights like you and me.
