I guess for my own point of view, I have a harder time saying that something is a person with rights if it is unborn and unable to survive outside of the womb. 

I mean, ideally I wish we lived in a world where we did not need abortions and we could prevent pregnancy long before that was necessary, but until then, I also have trouble suggesting that a zygote is its own person with rights when it lacks an identity or survival outside of the woman carrying it. A good first step is providing free or nearly free birth control to all Americans. 

I agree about finding a middle ground for both sides, which is why I keep hoping for 3 months.

Free BC is another idea, one that I would want 100% covered under Universal Healthcare. I would rather the women have the choice than to not have the choice to use BC.
