As Rep. Nita Lowey points out, it would be the first time in federal law that a fetus would be recognized as having the same rights as the born. To me, that obviously sets the stage for future challenges to abortion rights.

Don't know alot about this bill, but heard a little clip about it last night. It seems to essentially have done what you are suggesting no bill has done, and this was passed some time ago. Briefly (because that's all i know of it) a woman convicted of 1st degree murder who is pregnant cannot be put to death.
