A “baby” is a newborn by definition. A 12 week fetus is not a person with


legal rights no matter how much you think it should be.

Heartbeats don’t define anything.

And yes, I’m a father and I’ve lived through multiple miscarriages as well, one well past 12 weeks that required my wife to have a procedure afterwards. It was hard to go through, and I’m not saying I think a 12 week fetus is nothing. It’s just not a “baby” yet with “the same rights as you” as you said above, which is so wrong it’s ridiculous to be honest.

I think the sliding scale of maternal vs fetal interest as the fetus develops where you start at 100% discretion and the bar raises all the way to “is necessary to protect the health of the mother” in the third trimester is about as right as we can get on this issue.
