Then why can't a 5 year old exercise his religeous freedom and attend the Church of Satan? Or leave home and become a prostitute in Holland? You are right. I completely don't understand how people can make arguments for fetal rights with a straight face.

You wouldn't understand it in that context, since the questions you ask don't pertain to the fetus' right to life. Apples and oranges.

I don't understand it in any context. You can't have "sort of" absolute rights. Either a thing is or it isn't.

If a fetus has absolute rights to life, then it bulldozes the mother's rights, if it doesn't, than the mother's rights are on the table, and lacking devine intervention, her rights are obviously quite a bit stronger than a fetus's rights. It is devine intervention, or sentimental intervention that supports the argument otherwise, no matter how well wrapped up in spurious claims of logic parsing.
