This isn't the win you think it is.
And I'd say his defense isn't the defense he thinks it is. So now what?
Let's say we could remove a fetus at conception and bring it to term, and it would be able to develop happily and healthily? Are abortions still okay? If so, being able to survive outside the host isn't changing your stance, just your reasons. If not, then where does the obligation end? Who's raising this child? Most abortions aren't removed because the mother feels like she has a parasite, so what are we doing about those reasons? And why do you think those reasons only start once the fetus is viable?
Why do we need to do anything about them? If the mother doesn't want it that's the end of the discussion.
So what changes between one week before birth and one week after, assuming the fetus is viable?
