Every human being alive on this planet is dependent upon others to some greater or lesser degree. The degree of dependency of a fetus on one other person (mother) is different and in some ways less than the degree of dependency for a child who has left the womb.

If degrees of dependency is your argument, that argument could be applied to infanticide of children already born much more effectively.

Independence is definitional and applicable with regards to freedoms and rules about autonomous decision making but not to which human beings have a greater or lesser right to continue living.

“ Every human being has the inherent right to life. This right shall be protected by law. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life.” (Article 6.1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights)
