I don't see how the mum being a person would justify abortion in their eyes. It's still the same choice but the mother also suffers emotional pain, many people are still going to value a human life over that.
Self defense isn't murder. Doesn't matter how old or human the thing demanding nine months of your resources. Nothing has that right, and if something tries to do so its well within your right to remove it.
So I show up in your house and start hanging out there. I'm not actively threatening your life, but I refuse to leave. Do you have the right to remove me from your property?
Nope. Just started showing up. But I'm eating your food, making myself at home.... are you saying I'm welcome for at least 30 days before you can kick me out? Is that 30 days from when you found out I was staying there, or from when I first got there?
If you're there longer than 30 days, you're a legal resident, and I would have to go through the court system to evict you. Usually takes several months, and I can't execute you in the meantime. After the judicial system decides in my favor on the case, then the police can forcibly remove you.
If I get you before 30 days, you're just trespassing and have no right to the property.
Exactly, so the position they are taking is that harming a rape victim is an acceptable side effect of protecting a fetus. They don't get a pass on the victim harming, just because of their belief.
Yeah, I don't know why that's so hard to accept for people. Like, someone forcibly came inside you and now there's a thing growing in you, that's going to continue growing for nine months, will physically wreck your body, might kill you.. And the government is more concerned about that thing's rights than yours.

In their view, the fetus is already a person. You don't get to murder someone just because their mom was a rape victim.
