Ok, what do pro-choice people think, the thing developing in your stomach is? That thing is going to be a baby and to abort the child, is to kill the going to be alive child, you could have been aborted and you do not have chance to live, a human right. The fetus has a heart, has bodily organs, consumes food and can feel pain after 20 weeks. The baby has bodily features, so it is more than just a bunch of cells, abortion is the killing of an innocent child who has been deprived of the right to life.
Yes, the thing developing inside a woman's uterus is a human (food goes in the stomach, baby goes in the uterus), but it should not have the same rights as people who have already been born until it can feel emotion (which actually happens after thalamocortical connections are created around 28 weeks into gestation, well into the third trimester). To argue that a fetus should have rights merely because it has the potential to do so is kind of absurd, as the same argument could be used to assert that all egg and sperm cells should be given the same rights as people because they have the potential.
Whether the fetus has "bodily features" is irrelevant; why should it not be?
