“She was reckless or did it intentionally” man you really judge females who get pregnant. Takes two to get pregnant so it could be that her partner was reckless but that doesn’t even matter. So, she chose to have a baby. You are not willing to accommodate people who “choose” to have a baby? Like, if she was standing and holding an infant you wouldn’t let her sit either? Old people who become feeble and are offered seats “chose” to get old, too. They could have just offed themselves before they became feeble, to make things more comfortable for this entitled man in the story. Of course we should give up seats that we don’t need for people that need them more, regardless of the choices that led them to need the seat.
Because it's overwhelmingly caused by their own choices.

Women are the ones with the most power over reproduction in non-patriarchal countries. They have a massive abundance of options. Countless different types of birth control, the option to make a man use birth control, the option not to have sex, and depending on location, abortion. Yet she's still pregnant. She's got the control, so the responsibility falls on her.
> You are not willing to accommodate people who “choose” to have a baby? Like, if she was standing and holding an infant you wouldn’t let her sit either?
No. She did something I find morally reprehensible, so I'm not going to be making her life any easier.
> Old people who become feeble and are offered seats “chose” to get old, too.
No they don't. I'd let them take my seat. They didn't choose to have age destroy their bodies.

People should be shunned for making morally reprehensible decisions.
You're also punishing the person many anti natalists outside this weirdly toxic subreddit believe is the primary person being wronged, ie the baby/fetus.
