Actually, if a fetus is inside a persons body than it is subject to that persons will. What you want to do is take away someones will power to manage the contents of their body. That is why society gives a fetus/infant rights after it leaves the body, to protect a women's right to choose. Theres no disputing that the women's right to choose is clearly more important than the fetus' privledge to live in ones womb.

When your world is the womb of another person I wouldn't count on getting any rights. You are subject to the will of that person, thats the reality thats not going to change.
