I can't believe this is even debatable. I can't believe that in a society we consider civilized, I have to actually present a structured argument against cutting off pieces of babies when they're born.
So if the foetus has rights if and only if the mother intends for it to be born, do those rights exist, then vanish, if the mother wants the child to be born for the first two trimesters, then changes her mind at the start of the third?
