Okay, let's accept that a fetus is a human being for the sake of argument.
What other scenario can you even think of where we find it morally and legally acceptable to force another human being to sacrifice their health and body in order to ensure the survival of another?
You're arguing that fetuses are human and then ignoring that we don't grant other humans the right to subjugate the bodily autonomy of others for their survival at the same time. You can't have it both ways.
