If you do that, mothers will be killing their one week premature babies claiming that they still are parasites. Yet today, the youngest baby every born to survive was born at 4.5 month of pregnancy as opposed to the normal 9 month. Saying that this is none of my business would only support such crimes. At the same time, I am pro abortion up to the 3rd month of pregnancy.

No. Not that it's perfectly analogous to a human fetus. Logically, a fetus would have more rights than a tumor. It's not that a fetus does not have rights; it just does not have as much as the mother. Everything is relative in this regard. Don't think "yes"/"no", "all"/"none", etc - think "more"/"less". The issue is tough, unique, marginal, and endlessly contentious - but that is precisely why to leave legislation and enforcement out of it and leave the burden on the shoulders of the mother. _____ As the Dude on the Deuce postulated in 1776, all Men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights. Not "born" equal. Created equal. The baby has a human mother and a human father and therefore is not likely a giraffe. The baby could die in the womb and therefore is alive, because one of the prerequisites for dying is that you must be alive to do it. The baby is a living human being. The mother's Creator-given right to sole control of her body has been pre-empted by her Creator for the time being by endowing the baby with the right of parasitic feeding, just as the kid's Creator-given right to liberty is later restricted by the mother's Creator-given right to restrain the kid in a stroller at the mall. Tell your kindergarten kid to invite a classmate to live with you, and the classmate accepts, and see how long it is before the government dispatches gun-toting goons in bulletproof vests to enforce the parents' right to raise their kid. ("That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men...") You were violating the parents' Creator-given right to raise their child. Likewise, the Creator-given right of the baby to life can be enforced by the State.
