Perhaps "ignoring" means refusing to entertain it even for the sake of argument.

Bodily autonomy is probably a weak argument, because it assumes that the fetus isn't a living human being deserving of the same protections against slaughter that you and I enjoy.

If it is, bodily autonomy doesn't justify murder.

If it's not, then protecting it from abortion is absurd.

In neither case though, is bodily autonomy a compelling argument.
