Question For Pro-Choice People

Can the newborn eventually achieve autonomy? 
Can the unborn achieve autonomy if allowed to become a newborn?
Can the unborn achieve eventual autonomy by becoming a newborn, without the already existent autonomy of the mother being violated, in the event she wants an abortion and is prohibited from doing so? 

Once the baby is born, it has certain protections under the law, which no longer violate the mother's bodily autonomy. 
In the case of prohibiting abortion, you would have to violate the mother's already existent bodily autonomy.

In both cases (newborn/unborn) each child can achieve what you ask if left unmolested.
