looks like you were able to trump my supposed "most stupid hypothetical example" with one of your own.

No they were about equally stupid, as neither were a good analogy but each differed a different extreme. In yours you tried to make the analogy that a fetus was nothing more than a virus or bacteria. In my I made the analogy of a fetus being like a child. Actually I don't think mine was quite as dumb as yours, but it was close.
The truth is somewhere in the middle. I don't put the fetus life on par with a mothers if medical conditions conflict those two lives. But I certainly don't think that a fetus should be without rights alltogether either. When the abortion is no more than a choice for convenience, then I think the fetus's rights should prevail.
