Is there any argument from the pro-life position that can not be used to dually justify any of the following:
-Forced harvest of non-vital organs such as Kidneys, blood, bone marrow, and skin tissues.
- Restrict access and consumption of certain goods deemed dangerous to both the pregnant mother's and fetus's health.
-Military conscription (the draft)
-Hard labor or indentured servitude as punishment for certain offences, assuming that labor would be used for works which improve public health and safety.
-Military intervention in other countries for human rights violations.

The common pro-life position is that we should protect the life of an unborn fetus via legal action, and in detail this means making any act which harms or kills the baby illegal therefore the state maintains the ownership of a woman's uterus.. This also happens to be a core aspect of all of the possible public policies outlined above within certain stipulations:
-Forced organ harvest protects sick individuals who are in need of organ transplants.
-Restricted access to certain goods directly protects the life of the fetus and the mother.
-Military conscription protects public health and safety via a common defense oft both public and private interests.
-Hard labor which is directed into public works aids public health indirectly by building a community which is by design, safer and healthier.
-Military intervention protects foreign persons from abuses by their state. Even when this costs soldier's lives, it could be argued to have a net benefit by saving the lives which would have been lost by a genocidal regime.

My question is to ask if there is something I am missing which is different between the pro-life reasons and any possible reasons made for each of these, which would be fundamentally different and therefore not apply.
At some point in the distant past, the universe went through a phase of cosmic inflation,
Stars formed, planets coalesced, and on at least one of them life took root.
Through a long process of evolution this life developed into the human race.
Humans conquered fire, built complex societies and advanced technology .
All of that so we can argue about nothing.
