    Fetal personhood isn’t a thing, and conservatives don’t want to go their either. If fetal personhood exists, getting in an accident and causing a miscarriage is now manslaughter. No one is advocating for that, so no one is advocating that fetuses are people deserving of the rights of a person.

There’s also the possibility of taking out a life insurance policy, collecting back child support, etc.
