I do understand that it is your opinion that women don't deserve body autonomy rights. Generally, in western society, it's considered wrong to deny these rights. Unsurprisingly, some people who oppose these rights point to far right religious bullshit and mention things like "unalive a woman" in order to pretend that they aren't also on that same path. Of course, many others just point to their own religious justification for their stances as the reason to control others on this.
Meanwhile, it's interesting that you say "interfere with another's life in this kind of way", while making an argument that a fetus (a non-person) has the right to do that exact thing. Seems wildly inconsistent.
Either way, it seems your personal perspective on morals go directly against the core concepts of freedom, and you're denying that women should have rights over their own bodies as you or I do, so let's ignore the "rights" argument. Let's just go with a practicality discussion. Why is your opinion here a more practical stance for society?

If they’re slower then you you don’t need to push them down, just put run them.

Its not a violation of her "rights" if she never had those rights to begin with.
It has never been much of an argument to say woman have a right to do this, anymore than say like in islam where a man has a right to unalive a woman who committed adultery.
Its my belief, and many others that no one has the "right" to interfere with anothers life in this kind of way. Specifically denying it, aka killing. Generally in western society its considered wrong to do so. So in my opinion this is a veritable crime and lead into the consequences such.

If they’re slower you can just run faster than them.
You should push your faster friend down.

Obviously. They're slower, no need to risk missing and losing your balance.

Whooosh….
Bears go after the closest target. Pushing a slower person down just makes them less visible. A bear is going to “push” the slower one down first.

> arbitrary - based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.
This is not remotely arbitrary. It's based on the point where the fetus is no longer a growth on another person, but is it's own person (see below on this).
As compared to pretty much every time based abortion ban, which are generally based on an actual "arbitrary" point in time, sometimes attempted to be justified by calling it "viability", but that's all over the place biologically speaking, while the laws generally aren't. And sometimes they pass laws that are supposed to be based on a heartbeat, but they're actually time based, and the heartbeat of a fetus is mostly just a pulsing tube for the first few month. Also, since a heartbeat itself has no impact on what makes us a person, it's also entirely arbitrary.
So, if you actually believe that it shouldn't be arbitrary, then feel free to join me.
And yes, the laws that we have in the US recognize that a person isn't a person until they're born. Prior to that, they don't have any of the rights that a person has, because "person" is a legal term, not a biological one. This isn't my opinion, it's just a fact. Most states grant some rights to the unborn, but not based on any personhood.

If they’re slower… you can let them be eaten and feel peachy about the whole situation.

My thoughts as well.
Cost 29k USD to build, but some real estate jerkoffs here in Canada would try to pawn it off on us for 200-300 thousand++ easily (and that's in the less favorable areas like central Canada, east or westcoast would probably be double that).

Correct, we have a term for that time. It starts with a 'b'.
And we do weigh the rights of all of the people involved against each other. Since there's only one person involved until after birth, that's easy. "Potential" people (to use your term) aren't people.

Of course. You need to push down your friend who is FASTER than you.......
The friend who is slower is already bear food.
