The mother no longer has any direct rights to the property inside her body--not her kidney, not her liver, not her zygote, and not her fetus. Whether society now has rights to her property in the absence of instructions from the mother to the contrary--is certainly an interesting point.

a fetus is an extension of the mother until the cord is cut

I would presume that the mother wanted the child or this effort would not be made. It's not that the fetus suddenly has all these rights, it's still the rights of the mother as interpreted by her next of kin.
