kind of... this only really applies to parasitic twins

What if the parasitic twin is conscious and self-aware? Does it still have rights?

Me: I don't recall making that claim. Please pay attention.
Well that was the inference I took from the following statement of yours. Perhaps I was wrong.

Thats ok. I am happy to clarify.
Quote:
So as far as I am concerned, there's a baby in there after 5 weeks, even if it isn't viable.
I certainly do belive the foetus is a person.

If it is a person, then it has rights. Which means, by your logic, you should be in favor of outlawing abortion after 5 weeks. Right?
Quote:
Me: ...there is no sob-story that will be heart wrenching enough to convince us that the fetus can be killed because the mother decides it. [...] There are circumstances where I would find abortion acceptable.
These two comments are contradictory.

Why are they contradictory? The circumstances I mentioned have nothing to do with a sob story. Explain the contradiction.
An example of those circumstances are when the mother's life is at significant risk.
