Even if it was a fully-grown adult connected to your body to live, would you not still have every right to deny them further use of your body, even if doing so would knowingly kill them? Isn't that choice over who can or cannot use your body, for any or no reason, still your own..?

That's an interesting perspective, and indeed, bodily autonomy is a crucial aspect of this discourse. However, consider a different scenario: if someone deliberately initiates a process knowing that another person will become dependent on them for survival, would it not be a responsibility to see through the repercussions of that process? For instance, if you invite someone for a deep-sea dive, knowing they can't swim and don't have their gear, but you do, wouldn't it be morally questionable to abandon them halfway? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

I don't necessarily think that morality is the deciding factor at question here. Due to the subjective nature of morality, some people may say that it's morally okay and others may not, but it's not for others' morality to determine what you can or cannot do with your own body. Something being "morally okay" or not isn't how we decide what rights we should have.
As for myself, yes, I do still think it is perfectly morally okay for someone to have an abortion even after becoming pregnant on purpose, because I personally do not hold fetuses to the same value as an actual born human (which is again a subjective issue in itself, and thus irrelevant imo).
