This argument doesn’t make sense to pro-life people, they aren’t telling you what you can and can’t do with your body, they are telling you what you can’t do to some one else’s body (fetus). The only argument worth having is when the fetus gains rights as an individual. For most pro-choice is viability or brain activity. For pro-life that is conception.
I'm pro choice but this argument will convince absolutely 0 pro-life people. They think abortion is murder, so all this talk of individual "choice" and "rules for someone else's body" is as meaningless to them as saying that you should have the choice to cut someone else with an ax.
I'm not saying I agree with their position, but you have to understand it in order to beat it.

That’s literally what being pro-choice means. You understand others should have the choice, even if you personally never would for any reason.
