I think the line is right around viability, where the fetus is capable of having an existence independent of the mother.
I can agree with that. A few more rights than it had at the start, but not so many rights it is considered more valuble than the mother. Perhaps a little harder to obtain an abortion, as it is anyway, in late stage pregnancy.
