Exactly right: if a fetus is a person it doesn't have the right to attach itself like a remora to another person to sustain their life, making personhood arguments moot from the get go.
Actually in my country if a fetus was a person legally they would have the right, since parents have the duty to provide for their children and not endanger their lives. But this is if the law considered a fetus a human person.
