The fetus has the right to "bodily integrity." I'm not talking about tearing it into tiny pieces or something. It totally has the right to live -- if it can, outside of the woman's body. But it does not have the right to take over a woman's body for nine months and risk killing her, regardless of whether you consider a fetus a "person" or not. As I said above, it would be tantamount to making it a law that you had to die and donate your heart to your sibling if they had a heart condition that necessitated a transplant, or that you had to give up your kidney. Fuck, at that point we might as well go the route of Never Let Me Go -- raise people solely for the purpose of harvesting their organs to save other people! After all, if a woman should be stripped of her rights to force her to provide for another being that is literally leeching all of her nutrients and living solely on her power and making irreparable changes to her body and might kill her, then why not just do that to loads of people, right?
Seriously, it's all bullshit. Women don't lose their rights when they get pregnant, no matter how much you want them to.
