This is fundamentally misframed. For example, there’s no reason not to support—in some cases—mandatory abortion if you support mandatory vaccination. The main benefits of abortion aren’t to the user, they’re to the potential conscious entity who mercifully wasn’t forced to endure a predictably sub-par life and to society. Abortion isn’t really about personal (bodily) autonomy, that’s just a useful political expedient.
edit: is this being downvoted because people think it’s anti-abortion? To put this comment in more context, it’s assumed that abortion has great utility for reducing S-risk (the mundane kind, if that’s a reserved AI danger term) and is also associated with positive social trends. With this in mind, if you compare abortion to vaccination, it makes sense to mandate abortions in at least some cases. It shouldn’t matter, but if it’s still not clear I am very pro abortion.
