"The difference is that 5 minutes before the birth the fetus is an appendage to the mother. Once the cord is no longer linked to the mother the baby is fully born. Now the baby is it's own person."

Bad answer! The child is a human being that is genetically distinct from it's mother, before and after the birth of the child. All Human Beings have intrinsic and God given rights. These rights to life and liberty are not granted by the State and they cannot be abrogated by the declaration of 9 men in black robes any more than yours can. The child will continue to be reliant on it's mother who has a moral and legal obligation to sustain and nurture the child for many years to come. The Mother could place the child up for adoption where others would assume her moral and legal obligations to her child, but a no point is she simply allowed to kill the child because it is inconvenient for her to take care of it. The Mother ( in the vast majority of cases) has knowingly and willingly engaged in the sexual act that brought about the pregnancy in the first place and in doing so has subjected herself to the moral obligations that entail when a new and distinct Human Being is created.
