Abortion/Consciousness/Life

[Chas]

Of course, that's up to every person to decide what's personhood and what's not

Well, what I mean is that whether or not a fetus is a person is not the issue here.

It is the central issue.

Well, what I mean is that whether or not a fetus is a person is not the issue here.

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.

That is an absurd argument. It has nothing to do with 'rights', it is a biological fact of development.
The fetus isn't choosing to do anything, it isn't exercising its rights.
