Reply to comment by Infernalism in Lawyer argues fetus of jailed pregnant woman is being illegally detained by He-is

You can't have it both ways; some people believe it to be a person. I must set the prisoner free.

They care about consistently denying women their personal rights.

Why can't you have different sets of rights for different people?

18 year olds have more rights than 10 year olds. 21 yr olds have different rights than 18 yr olds. There are all kinds of delineations of rights between people. Prisoners have fewer rights than non prisoners. Citizens of a place have more rights than non. Very common.

They will just carve out an exception for this and this lawsuit will end up being a nothing burger.

You can, but in this case, the decision to make foetus' legally people was so hastily and poorly thought out that they didn't make any of those provisions. There absolutely could be exceptions in cases like this since the foetus cannot be separated from its mother and the like, but there aren't, and so legally it can be treated as if the foetus is the same a born child.
