I'm not sure what you mean here but the difference between a fetus and a human baby is quite clear.

Persons are protected by the U.S. Constitution. If the unborn is a person, it has rights. Get it?

What you said makes no sense logically. Just how is it that being attached to the mother makes a baby non-human? Explain that.

Does your family have the moral authority to do any act it wishes to do?

Of course not. We are not talking about "any act", we are talking about reproduction - forming a family.

Is there a right and wrong outside of your family's opinion? Yes or no.

Yes, of course there is. But who has the ultimate authority to interpret what is right and wrong? Some things are easy and universally agreed upon; other things are not so easy and not agreed upon. What we are discussing here is not an easy topic and it involves deeply held and different religious beliefs regarding the nature, definition and manifestation of life in this human environment. In this particular topic, there is not agreement as to the ultimate truth or "right" regarding the reproductive process. You seem to believe that the government should require everyone to act as you deem right; I do not believe the government should be deciding this particular matter.
