"So women are to be MORE controlled than incarcerated prisoners?"

No, but that would be what those in favor of making abortion legal think.

Again, can you please try to define what you mean by something "happening to one's body"? I'm guessing you mean something like "insertion or removal of an object under or on the skin." Am I right?

Because that's different than controlling someone's body, in general language. That is a very specific instance of doing something to someone's body, or restricting what they may do with their bodies.

And finally, it doesn't address the issue of whether the fetus is a "person", which is where the real conflict lies. Even if everyone in the country agreed with exactly your meaning of what people should be allowed to do with their bodies, there would still be that problem to deal with. Don't let the framing cloud your understanding of the issue. A frame isn't an argument, it's a quick and dirty way to show the upside of a position.
