Live by the strawman, die in its pyre.

>> “Do mothers give birth to natures or to persons?” <<
(not sure who wrote the above) but your answer was,

“Not necessarily either of them, but they do give birth to bodies, dead or alive.”

In all seriousness if a woman does not necessarily give birth to a person then obviously the child in the womb can not be a person. If it is just a body (which you seem to imply in your statement) there can really be no reason to declare abortion is wrong based on the teaching that an unborn child is indeed a person. If it is only a body it is no different than other flesh except that it is contained within the womb.

I would be glad for you to explain just what you meant.
