Is a preborn baby a “person” or a “thing?”

Pro-Choice author Rob  Deters says:

“A woman’s right to choose is based on a simple premise: A fetus is not a person until it can live outside the womb. Until that point, it is up to the woman, for health, personal, economic or social reasons, to either carry to term or terminate the pregnancy. There is no “child” and there is no “person” – there is a thing.”
