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.

Good argument, but (you knew it was coming) does an infant have the ability to consent, object, make decisions or self-govern? If your answer is no, then by your logic the mother should be able to do as the pleases to include killing it. Both the unborn and newborn are dependent on the mother.
