Weigh that against the consequence to the woman (for most, an inconvenience, though of course, a major one) and to the fetus (death). So, if there's a possibility that the fetus is a person with rights, doesn't it deserve additional consideration because the penalty for being wrong is so great? Here's a question no one on the pro-abortion side wants to answer. Let's say for a moment that none of us truly knows if the fetus is a person with rights. Maybe it's a person, maybe it's not. Good Lord, what if you're wrong? 1.3 million persons are exterminated every year! If I'm wrong, a whole bunch of women are inconvenienced for 9 months. (Please leave out the rape cases and those causing death to the mother...they're a tiny fraction of the total).
