Yes; my position has been that every variable must be accounted for and understood prior to reaching a conclusion. I see merit in the concept of bodily autonomy, but I likewise see exceptions and limitations.
Edit to add: My feeling is that the "choice argument" is somewhat of a red herring. For example, would you be against abortion if a viable alternative was developed? Meaning that the embryo can be safely extracted and developed outside the womb, and given back to the mother after the full term? My feeling is that nobody actually cares about my body, my choice—they simply don't want to raise a child.
