For the sake of clarity, the legal status of a fetus is determined based on personhood, not on its status as a human. Human is a biological concept; person is the legal one. A court cannot determine if something is human or otherwise because it is outside of its remit.

However bleak things seem, however insurmountable the darkness appears, remember that you have worth and nothing can take that away.
