Ordinarily, we do not make condition of development or dependency a qualification on rights:
All, the time age, infirmary, and competence are all figured into legal equations all the time.

and is a slippery slope
The real slippery slope is to begin granting rights to groups of cells. How long until a frozen embryo inherits property, and holds it at least until thaw? How long before women are tried for manslaughter for a miscarrage and murder if they were performing strenuous activities before the miscarrage? The notion that every cell that might become an adult, must become an adult is a Frankensteinian nightmare.

many children who are unwanted to begin with are cherished in the end,
Many who were wanted in the beginning turn out to be unbearable disappointments to their parents and are turned out. Who can guess the future? Situations like overcrowding are predictable and their solutions after the fact are much less pleasant than abortion.
