This is not an argument made in good faith. Indeed it's an argument that no one is making. Withholding food to an infant is infanticide. It has nothing to do with 'bodily autonomy'.
I’m asking for consistency on bodily autonomy - what is the alternative to being FORCED to use their bodies if women can’t access formula?
It's parental neglect if they can't feed a baby in any suitable way. They'd need to look into getting help (charity, government, etc.) or giving up the baby.
The "force" is different philosophically because a newborn and mother are not inseparably, biologically conjoined. Adoption is often considered an alternative to abortion, but, say the pro-choicers, that still requires women to carry to term.
Infanticide has been allowed in many past cultures because resource scarcity was much more dire. There wasn't this reserve army of middle-class families ready to adopt babies. However, it's now illegal, so new moms who won't take care of their babies have the minimum requirement of giving them up to someone who will. As for charity and welfare, it's something to look into. I'm not aware of how much there is available.
