> bodily autonomy

This phrase has quite a few baked in assumptions which attempt to shut down debate before it even begins. I suggest using a different phrase to make it clearer what you're actually talking about.

That is where the debate ends. Either a woman has the autonomy to make decisions about what happens to her body, or she does not.

As for georgeburdell thinking women are more advantaged against men, he should do some experiments applying to jobs with equivalent credentials as a man vs a woman, both in child bearing years. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the average man in that age range will need or ask for fewer days off than the average woman.
