Exactly how is the fetus autonomous? Mentally, can it make its own medical decisions? Physically, can it go where it wants, eat as it wishes, and so on?
No, it can do none of these things. Your assertion that an unborn fetus has the right to bodily autonomy is silly.
Of course, you won't admit that, because you would then have to admit you give preference of treatment to an undeveloped fetus over a living breathing adult, solely because she's a woman.
Tell us again how you're not misogynistic?
Not to mention the fact this has nothing to do with a desire to remove it's bodily rights. No one has that desire .Only that it has no right to her body. Outside her it has all the same rights . Inside her body she is allowed to kick it out. If it results in death that's sad but not worth violating her body over.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
