A child is a person at every stage of development, and they deserve the right to life.
At what stage of pregnancy do they gain the right to use someone’s body against their consent? And what stage do they lose it? Because that isn’t a right extended to any other population.
Also 7 week old fetuses do not respond to touch. They don’t yet have a sense of touch. The receptors in the skin begin to form at 7.5 weeks, but the spine cannot transmit any input from those receptors to the brain until 19 weeks. 19 weeks is when Fetuses begin to feel ‘touch’ and cannot differentiate between types of touch until 30 weeks, when the brain is awake enough to begin processing the input.
They have reflex responses before they have the capacity to feel touch, but a reflex response and actually feeling something are totally different things. (x)
As Oh-Snap-Pro-Choice pointed out too, a fetus, even if you consider it a person, would not have the right to use the pregnant persons body without their consent. Because literally no one has that right.
