O.K., the mother gets extra protection. Does the baby/fetus get any? Is it o.k. to prosecute third parties for murder of the baby/fetus if it is just tissue untill first breath?

it's called an analogy... hello...
why should the fetus get protection of any sort? until it is viable, it is completely dependent on the mother. yes, it may one day become an autonomous being, but there is no gauruntee until it takes its first breath. if the woman wants to bring the fetus to term, that's her right. but if she doesn't want to house a parasite, that should also be her right. it may one day be an independent human being, but until born, it is nothing more than an intruder in the womans body (assuming she doesn't want it... it could also be a welcomed guest). the point is that it's up to her to decide. if she doesn't want to house it, then she should be free to terminate it. unfortunatly there aren't other options like sending the fetus to a halfway house like we could do with someone that's been evicted from their home (rather than letting them freeze/starve in the street)... but when it comes to abortion there are only 2 extremes, and i have to side with the already viable human being over the fetus.
