Didnt the President ask for and get a bill declaring a "fetus" to be refered to as a human (or a baby or something) for legal purposes? I seem to remember the feminists and other baby-haters spinning in circles about it because it put into motion exactly what you want. Rights for the unborn that are identical to adult rights.
It's a backdoor to banning abortion and the Left knows it.
There's no link to the article, but on the page I linked, this appears as one of the accomplishments of the Bush Administration:
