There needs to be a legal basis for that....not a moral one. And there isnt any legal way to practically give personhood to fetuses ONLY for the sake of preventing abortion and then just ignoring that designation elsewhere as convenient.
At the same time, a fetus shouldn't be given personhood when it dies as a result of actions from someone other than the mother. Scott Peterson was convicted of killing his unborn son.
Either a fetus is a person in all cases, or it's a person in no cases.
Our justice system can't even decide.
