Where's the autonomy concerns over not throwing away the better part of a year of your life feeling like total garbage (not even mentioning the 3-4 weeks of wearing diapers, constant bleeding, blood clots, incontinence and other fun factors that come after the birth).

Well if it’s life with equal standing then the calculus is simple. 1 year plus x% chance of death < 100 years - x% chance of death.
Life begins at conception with no exceptions people have a very simple and correct basis for their argument. They just have a flawed premise that a zygote is equal to a person.
The same can be said of the extreme pro choice of its not a life until it takes a breath. The logic is sound that abortion should always be okay again just based on a flawed premise.
The rest of us get to live in shades of grey where the debate of when it becomes a life is the paramount question because once it is a life the calculus becomes simple. The abortion debate is just the Trolly problem.
