If we have to draw an imaginary line in the imaginary sand somewhere? I would say at whatever point the fetus can come to term independent of the mother. Usually around 24 weeks or so I think?

Hypothetically I'd say a fetus becomes a person once their brain has developed to a certain point. Certainly much later than when you can first detect a "heartbeat". I think viability outside the womb is a strong alternate viewpoint though and a good stand-in while we continue to discover more.

Ok.  

For a woman that has normal bodily features, does she have two hearts?  Does she have 20 fingers and 20 toes?  

I could go on with body parts, but a baby has those body parts by week 24, so, if the answer to either of the above question is no, how can you argue that it's "her body, her choice"?

If the answer is yes, show me how every mother has 20 fingers and 20 toes, or two hearts, etc.
