I believe a child in the womb is not a PERSON until its born .. or until it can survive on its own outside of the mother.

Can a 1 or 2 year old survive outside of it's mother, by it's self???? some body has to feed it & raise it. In fact i know some 20 yr olds(non impairer types) that have a very hard time surviving out side of their mothers.

To cyberant, human personhood is slated for somewhere around seven or eight years after birth, depending upon learned ability to forage.

Of course they cannot care for themselves.
A child in the womb is connected to it’s mother .. phyically. Therefore, it cannot claim personhood until it no longer is connected to it’s mother - physically.
Emotional bonds are something totally different.
