What is your stance on abortion?
Your last sentence is a circular argument. Also, can a conjoined twin decide to remove the other?
We all have the right of bodily autonomy, which means that we have the ultimate say over who can or cannot use our body, hence why other people do not have any right to use your body without your consent. If someone is using your body without your consent, they are violating you and your bodily autonomy, and it is within your right of defense and autonomy to stop them from continuing to use your body against your consent. Again: the fetus does not have a right to use its mother's body, and doing so without her consent is violating her bodily autonomy, thus the mother has every right to stop the fetus from continuing to do so, such as an abortion.
Conjoined twins are different, since it is not one person using another person's body, they are simply two people occupying the same body, and as such, they would both share democratic say over the same body. So neither twin has consent over the other, as they each share consent over the same body. Conjoined twins would be more of a philosophical issue of democracy than of bodily autonomy.

While there a circumstances where twins are definitely not sharing the same body, as one would die losing the other and one would thrive losing the other, I think you still make a really good argument.
