   Why are you insistently trying to bring other people in female's private and   
   very personal decisions about her own life?   
      
   No one else, but the pregnant woman herself, is in position to exercise her   
   right, as well as having the power to (single-handedly) decide and -   
   subsequently - execute her individual decision about termination of her   
   pregnancy during gestation period.   
      
   The whole matter around umbilical cord on differentiating a fetus from a   
   person is corresponding to the needs of bureaucratic formalities, and in   
   regards to legality of abortion and the practice of individual rights.

   This "fact" must be very new, because up until you pointed this out just   
   now, it was quite foreign to science.  Not mentioning about being totally   
   pointless and very useless in relation to the issues of abortion.

   FYI, nature has created a scene in female's life in which pregnancy is   
   playing a very personal and extremely private role, which can be kept in   
   secrecy from everyone else, let alone - from society, during its full term.   
   Therefore, neither society, nor law - are being able to impose the terms and   
   conditions you are trying to designate for her.   
      
   In fact, a knowledgeable and experienced in doing abortions woman is able to   
   terminate her pregnancy on her own, without sharing the info about her being   
   pregnant to anyone.   
   But extended availability of abortions to all of the women on equal basis -   
   is certainly helping to achieve a social justice and fairness in society on   
   the basis of equal access to such medical procedures.
