I partially disagree. On some level this is true but you are lumping in a very complex issue into a very simple answer. There’s a word for that, it’s called fascism. I think that most people(not all) agree that life doesn’t begin at conception but I also believe that most people(not all) agree that 5 minutes before birth is indeed murder. So if most people agree on those 2 points then I submit that at some point in between those 2 timeframes, there must be a point at which it no longer becomes just “your body” and becomes 2 individual people. Now we may argue on what point that is but the fact remains that at some point in the pregnancy, the statement my body my choice and the statement at hand, bodily autonomy, become fascist statements. Just my 2 cents.
This. This is what is needed today; nuanced discussions that doesn't present everything as black or white. Most things are greyscale.
I usually say: there are 100% wrong solutions, but there are never 100% right solutions.
Merriam Webster defines fascism as
"a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition"
and/or
"a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control"
I fail to see how absolute bodily autonomy for the individual can fit anywhere in that.
I will admit there are situations that require violating a person's bodily autonomy, such as when someone requires medical treatment but is unable to consent.
The argument about childbirth I find a dishonest straw man argument since no one ever would try to kill the child during labour, the whole premise for that is to keep the child alive.
