If a woman has sex, she's probably gonna get pregnant. This is literally how it always has been. Nothing new here. If you have sex, you're gonna get pregnant. Getting pregnant is just the natural part of conception. So, if you conceive without at least expecting the chance of getting pregnant, that's pure stupidity. There's really no other way to put it.
The reason why the child inside the womb isn't violated your "bodily autonomy" is because when you make the decision to interact sexually with another human being of the opposite sex, there is a chance of getting pregnant. That's just part of the game. Because of that, the child literally did nothing to violate your "bodily autonomy". The child is literally just the fruit of your decisions. It was your decision to interact with that person in almost all cases (except for rape, I know).
Now if the child were to just suddenly and unexpectedly appear, this argument would be very different. However, that is not the case, and has never been the case in the history of mankind.

This is my whole point here: because a fetus is a human being (which is scientifically proven), the mother has no right to take that life.

You seem to misunderstand. This has nothing to do with the circumstances of the conception, this is simply regarding the fact that pregnancy IS the use of the mother's body by the fetus. The fetus is, in every sense, quite literally using the body of the mother to live and grow; that is what pregnancy is.
And, again: no person (even a fetus) has the right to use another person's body without their constant consent, right? Hence why the fetus does not have any right to continue using its mother's body if she does not want it to. That is why the fetus has no say or right to override the autonomy of the mother and her right over the use of her own body; if she does not consent to this being using her body for the next several months, then she has every right to stop it from doing so...even if that means it dies, because it does notRead more
