People have their own lives, they live and breath on their own (at worst with the willfully granted support of another or a machine).
Parasites live wholly off of their carrier's body, and are incapable of living and breathing on their own until extremely late into the birth cycle. They do not even ask if the carrier will support them, they simply leech off of them.
People have 'rights'. Unborn children are not people (they are parasites). Should parasites have the right to ruin the body of a person who declines to support them in their transition from parasite to person?
I certainly don't think so. What's so special about a bit of human DNA and tissue? My dog is as much a person as I am... humanity is not either a requirement of personhood nor a guarantee of it.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
