Yes, it absolutely is.

Although I realize myself to be very likely a simulated being, my body appears to me as being so realistic, and this feels very real to me!

I don't agree with the pro choice argument. The way I see it is the mother is carrying a child who also has a body of their own. I see abortion as taking the life of the child. If the child survives an abortion attempt, there can be physical consequences as well as emotional trauma. There are mothers who don't want an abortion and yet are forced by another or may feel that they have to get an abortion for other reasons. This can lead to emotional trauma for the mother.
I can see a case for abortion in the case of the life of the mother to save her life if she wanted to go through with that .

Do you then say that there is no right to bodily autonomy? Are vaccine mandates legal in your opinion? Should organ donation be mandatory or at least the default?

No, however I don't see this as a matter of simply right to bodily autonomy. The child has a body too and a life. Abortion takes that life of the child away .

Why do you value the life of a fetus over the rights of person carrying it?

It isn't a right to kill a baby in the womb for any reason. Why is abortion often said to be morally ok and yet if a person was to kill a pregnant woman, the person is charged with a double murder?

I see it as you can control it, but you really don't own it.

It is a double standard that needs addressing.
Not really.
It's still the woman's body. And her decision to do what she wants to that which is requiring her, to grow it.
It isn't a right to kill a baby, it's a right to not be pregnant.
Did you know Catholic nuns in the middle ages would actually help women have abortions?
I found that fascinating.
If all lives matter, even the unborn. Who takes precedent in this scenario?
A 10-year-old was forced to cross state lines for an abortion after Ohio's ban went into place. The Indiana doctor who helped her will soon be unable to assist others.
Should this 10 year old be allowed to die in labor because it's "God's" will?

No, I believe for an exception if it is the case where the life of the mother is at risk.

No it absolutely isn't. Not when there's another life involved.

Ever heard of C sections?

C sections are not without risk. I'm not saying abortion is without risk either but it may be a safer option for the little girl who is pregnant.
