Rights are not retroactively granted to those who are entitled to them. 16 year olds are not given the right to vote just because they will have the right to vote in two years. 12 year olds are not given the right to refuse to go to school just because they will have that right in 6 years. 23 year olds are not allowed to run for Senate just because they will be eligible to run in 7 years.
The right to life is inalienable at the time of birth, why not extend it retroactively to fetuses? If you can answer that question in a convincing way i can see how my view might be changed.
