You don’t always have bodily autonomy.
I’m not allowed to participate in a gladiator style fight to the death, even though it’s my body.
Women are not allowed to have abortions in later months, expect in some extreme cases.
At least in the gladiator scenario, I’m not taking an innocent life with me.

I doubt you do.
How about a 24 week old premature baby? Is that a wart, an appendix, or a pulled tooth? Is it not an actual life? If you killed it, should it not constitute as murder?
Or is it only a wart in earlier stages of development?
