The two aren't exactly the same, but it's not really apples and oranges either. The idea that for one thing a person's argument is "'don't tell me what to do with my body" and then for another thing the same person has no problem saying 'I'm going to tell you what to do with your body' is ironic...and yes, it applies to both sides.

I know you aren’t. That is why I ended my post how I did. When I said “if you want to look at it like that” i just meant anyone in general.

In my opinion one choice (not getting the vaccine) is clearly a threat to everyone else. The other (getting an abortion) is not.

Now if I remember correctly this is where SD said it is a threat to the baby. That is where we start talking about when is a fetus a baby etc etc etc.

It's a debate worth having. There are strong opinions on both sides, and others in the middle.

There is a point in a pregnancy where there is general consensus amongst medical professionals that a baby could then survive outside the womb; where before that, the baby's chances are not as good without a great deal of medical attention. I think it's somewhere around 22-24 weeks. That might be a good starting point.
