That's because it was never about bodily autonomy in the first place.
Even Roe didn't argue bodily autonomy. The Right to Privacy was in the decision to get an abortion itself with a medical practitioner. Roe never argued bodily autonomy of a woman. No one ever did. You just used it as rhetorical warfare, and when it became fashionable, you dropped it.
You never wanted women to choose (because you already oppose women who reject abortions as murder), and you never respected it as bodily autonomy, so you finally gave up and took off some of the mask: you just want population control.
The two primary arguments for abortion that I have heard are:
Eugenics: The poor and the disabled should be removed from society since their quality of life is below that of the upper-middle class.
School Shooter Mentality: You hate yourself and you wish you were dead, so you wish you had been aborted, and want to abort other children because you think the world is so bad they'll end up like you.
A non-argument for abortion they won't talk about:
Sure, but it's not about conquest. Rouseau was the one who pushed this idea originally, and he didn't exclude anyone from the destruction of those systems. He wanted all of civilization to die.
