A fetus has no rights so long as it is dependant upon its mother's body for survival. At viability - around 20-24 weeks - then I accept that it does unless it's survival directly threatens the life of the mother.
The life of a living, breathing person trumps the rights of a potential person every time.
"temporary discomfort"
Spoken as a male, obviously.
