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.
I don't think you're getting it. I didn't say a fetus is a person. I said it doesn't matter if the fetus is a person or not. People do not have this right so a fetus (regardless if whether or not it's a person) does not have that right either.
Agreed. One of the big things I hear is about how a fetus is a person and how it deserves human rights. Fine, give it all the rights of any person in the US. There is no person in the country that can be forced by law to donate an organ, be the dialysis machine, or the the life support system of another human. Nobody has the legal right to use another person's body for survival without their consent, and neither does any fetus.
