Once more into the breech -

Once more - I am contrasting the two. You were the one who phrased it in terms of "doing" something to a woman's body. The CONTRAST is that when a woman decides to get a boob job, she is indeed doing something to her body which does not affect anyone else. When she choses to have an abortion, then she is "doing" something which DOES have an impact on another body. Please do point to where I said anything about the rate or reasons for tattoos or abortion. I didn't - so quit with the red herrings.
it IS a woman's body at the forefront. without the woman's body, that fetus is dead. the text book definition of that is that the fetus is a parasite. it needs another being to live and grow.
There is a difference between arguing that "a woman's body is at the forefront" and that a woman's choice always outweighs any possible rights of the fetus. A parasite? Really? Wow.
sounds pretty good to me.

So you DO believe that the right to abortion should only extend until the point of viability - 24 weeks on? Again, that's a starting point for rational discussion.
