Person argument is a red herring and, in my opinion, disingenuous.
The claim would be that it is personhood that grants moral protection and not simply being a human being. I don't agree with that claim but I don't think it is a stupid or incredulous claim(like the claim that a fetus is not a human being).
Ok, so let's assume, for the sake of argument, that a fetus is a person. So what? Should this mean a woman must, therefore, suffer into having an unwanted "person" in her body for nine months?
