Ask yourself why you yourself deserve protection from being killed and I think you should arrive at your answer. Unless, of course, you don't think a fetus is a human being. If you don't, then I ask you, why are you a human being deserving of protection but a fetus isn't? What makes you different?
If it is because you do not have to be connected to another person to be alive, what about conjoined twins that medically cannot be separated from each other and survive? Are they not human beings? Don't they need a PARTICULAR person to survive?
Does merely being outside of the womb make someone a human being? And if so, does that mean that the moment before the head comes out, the baby is not a human being and it is magically transformed into a human being somehow in the second at which it's head leaves the womb? If so, please explain further.
And if it is viability, the timing of which varies from person to person, doesn't that mean that there should be some sort of test to determine viability for the INDIVIDUAL ?
