This doesn’t seem like equal things to compare. When the fetus is still inside the woman, the woman’s autonomy supersedes the fetus’s. Once the baby is born, it now has developed its own autonomy. Its not about what’s painful, its about autonomy. 
Besides, abortion is a medical procedure. Piercings are just aesthetically pleasing. Theres usually culture tied into babies with piercings, but that doesn’t change the autonomy issue

Absolutely. >

How do you feel about abortion? >

I'm pro-choice. Mainly because I don't believe a foetus in early development stages is equivalent to a baby.
But that's a different CMV and I'd rather not talk about it here. >

I'm pro choice as well, not trying to change your mind on that. 
Just curious what happens in a few months time span where at one point you're okay with mom making a decision to terminate a pregnancy, making a final and permanent decision on that potential humans life, and then a few months later you're not okay with mom (or dad, or grandma, etc.) making a temporary and reversible decision that has little to no effect. (For babies it generally isn't painful beyond a few minutes, and infection is outside the body and typically not very serious.)
