t's not like the unborn child chose to be there. They didn't just decide one day, "Hey, I'm going to inhabit this body and cause a ruckus!" No, they were created, and by the very nature of the biological process, placed in the womb.

If we follow your reasoning, then we could argue that parents have no obligation to care for their children after they're born. After all, children use their parents' resources and infringe on their freedom, right? But that's not how it works, is it? Society doesn't condone parents neglecting their offspring because they're an inconvenience. Likewise, society should advocate for the rights of the unborn.

You seem to be mistaking bodily autonomy with legal guardianship? Bodily autonomy is only in regards to your own body, and the decision of who can or cannot use it or what can or cannot be done with it.

It doesn't help at all – the most important right of all, regardless of if you acknowledge the existence of God or not, is logically LIFE, because if you're DEAD you can't enjoy ANY OTHER RIGHTS (including bodily autonomy). Therefore even such a theoretical right as bodily autonomy existed, to exercise that right the person with it must of necessity by ALIVE. I think the baby deserves bodily autonomy in that doctors should not be allowed to starve him to death and cut off his supply of nutrients via the abortion pill, or, in later terms, tear him limb from limb and crush his skull. Watch an abortion procedure online. You will see how much of a Hitleresque cruelty it is. This is the Second Holocaust, a moral abomination crying out to the Heavens for vengeance. Life trumps all other rights, period.
