This question isn't in any way related to fetal development, when you get right down to it. It's a straw man.
If you took a live, fully-born three month old infant, that we'd all agree is a human being in every meaningful sense, and took that infant and cut open a random woman and stuffed that infant inside and hooked it up to her uterus for survival, that woman has every right to say "what the fuck? No! Get this out of me!"
And you should be made to remove that infant. Even if the infant will die. Because she doesn't want it inside her.
Because it isn't about personhood, or whether a fetus is a human. It's about whether a woman is a human being who owns her own body, as men own their own. If you disagree with that, that's pure misogyny, and there's no other basis for it.
Thanks for admitting that even you don't believe a fetus is a person, when push comes to shove.

You made literally the same argument.
It's just as dishonest in both cases.
Your argument is exactly as dishonest as the creationist's, for the same reasons, and due to the same level of denial of science.
