But will it survive on its own?

No.

Nice dodge.

But you can't survive on your own either Beccs. If all the beneficial bacteria were removed from your gut you would die. Does the fact that you are not a viable individual make it okay to kill you?

THat's also a dodge, and, once again, moving the goalposts of the argument.

I'm not talking about removing anything from myself or a fetus' body. No amount of love, breast milk and diaper changing will keep a fetus alive if it is not hooked up to an independent life form (a human being). It cannot engage in homeostasis on its own.
A fetus is a non-sentient living being with human DNA. It cannot think or feel, and it is not aware of its own existence.

Is it okay to shoot someone who is hooked up to a heart/lung machine? Those people aren't viable either.

Viability as a rationale for deciding which human beings can be killed and which can't is silly.

Once again you appeal to emotion by calling a fetus a human being.

It's a POTENTIAL human.
