But, perhaps you can explain how a 20 week fetus gets to be a person prior to being born, at which point at least the codified rights attach

Because its a human, and new distinct individual. To the extent that viability is a concern (its not a central issue for me, but it is for some), 22 or 23 weeks might be a better point. As for prior to being born - well then it could be 39 or more weeks under the traditional measurement (or 37 or more since conception), with development the same as a newborn.
