If a woman can't be forced to give blood to save a life without her consent, and she can't be forced to give organs after she dies to save a life without (prior) consent, then I don't think we should be able to compel her to "save" the life of a fetus.
How can we grant more bodily autonomy to a corpse than we do to a living woman? This is my issue with efforts to limit or outlaw abortion. While I think these issues are difficult and I have some personal objections, I feel that bodily autonomy must be protected.
The fetus does not have autonomy because it has no ability to consent, object, make decisions or self-govern.
