Fetuses are not human beings by any scientific definition. Even without being aborted, a fetus is far from guaranteed to be born. A lot can happen in 9 months.

Fetuses are not human beings by any scientific definition. Even without being aborted, a fetus is far from guaranteed to be born. A lot can happen in 9 months. If the mother has a miscarriage, is she now a murderer? If she's in a car accident and loses the baby, is the other person involved in the crash a murderer? Does it depend on who was at fault in the accident? If a doctor fails to see a birth defect in time, are they now charged with manslaughter? Does a mother collect child support from a father at time of conception? Do they collect state benefits from the beginning of their pregnancy? This thing conservatives want to do of making fetuses people is a bottomless pit of regulatory gotchas. It's ridiculous.
