Well, Yeah

Wherein a Slate writer laments that if women start treating their unborn like children, then y'know, we might (*gasp*) start treating them like humans in other ways.

Key quote:
[I]t got us thinking about how the more we treat fetuses like people—including them in our family photo shoots, tagging them on our Facebook walls, giving them their own Twitter accounts—the harder it will be to deny that they are people when the next, say, personhood amendment comes up, with legislators and activists arguing that “the unborn child” inside a pregnant woman’s womb should have the same rights as the living among us.
