Sure, if you believe that a fetus has the same rights as a person. But that's not so.

A fetus has unique DNA - clearly the fetus IS another person, with all the corresponding rights.

That is a useless definition of "person". Hell, with that definition a dead body could be a "person", and a living person would actually be thousands of "persons". The best definitions of "person" I've found is a gradient based on cognitive ability.
