Who is responsible for the most deaths of innocents - the seven supreme court justices who were the majority in the Roe v Wade - or Hitler - Stalin or Mao?
You make an error in your assumption that a fetus has the same moral significance as a person in any other phase of life. A fetus has no thoughts or awareness, no knowledge or skills, a fetus has neither virtues nor vices, no memories, no emotions, no experiences, no hopes and dreams, no fears, no accomplishments, no role in the network of human interactions by which we define ourselves. A fetus has the potential for all of those things, but has none of them yet. If potential value is the same as actual value, then not only would it be murder to kill a fetus, but it would also be murder to fail to fertilize any ovum, which if not fertilized will never achieve its full potential. Any ovulating woman would have to be impregnated to avoid the loss of potential life. Perhaps you agree with that proposal, although it would seem to be rather demanding of women. You have already taken a position that women do not own their own bodies, since the needs of a fetus take precedence, even if the pregnant woman does not wish to have a baby. Of course, I too was once a fetus, as were we all. Yet, if I had died as a fetus, I would not have minded. And the world would still be well populated.
How much control does an fetus have over its development?
depends - conscious? none, a fetus isn't conscious as we know it. genetically? a fetus's genes impact how it develops into a baby, weather it has a genetic disease or not... but a fetus is also impacted by the environment, the womb and the hormones of the mother. Everything the mother eats and drinks and smokes goes into the baby - that's how some babies end up being born addicted to stuff.While the above is partially true, the fetus CAN contribute to its own development.more active fetuses are very often also more active childrenfetuses drink the amniotic fluids - the swallowing of these fluids not only helps organs to mature properly, but also contribute to the development of a normal palate due to the tongue movements associated with this drinking and swallowingby moving its chest walls in and out, the fetus is practicing breathing. while it is not actually breathing, but instead inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluids, respiratory readiness is still being promoted
