Bodily autonomy is why you can't be forced to donate an organ, or give blood, even if it would save someone's life, or even if you're dead. Claiming feminists invented it specifically to justify abortion is the most ignorant thing I've read so far this morning, and you're competing with Drich on that front.

I'm not so sure that a physician wouldn't sign off on an abortion when a healthy live birth without physical danger to the mother is practical. It just takes one ideologically motivated doctor who believes that bodily autonomy gives a woman a right to an abortion at any point in her pregnancy for any reason.
 
And even you should notice something amiss about your examples of bodily autonomy. My organs and my blood can't be taken from me without my permission because I own them, and they are my property. That doesn't give me the right to do whatever I want with them. They simply can't be taken from me without my permission. At best, bodily autonomy in regard to abortion can only be used as an argument against forcing a woman to get an abortion, and it doesn't give her the right to do whatever she wants with her body.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
