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.
