Authorities are also counting...

I'm out on CNN.com reading an article about the tornado in Indiana and the death tolls for Warrick county in Indiana. The article says that the toll now stands at four and that "Authorities also are counting as a fifth death the 8-month-old fetus of one of the victims."

When did we start counting a fetus as a human life? Doesn't the entire argument for abortion stand basically on the premise that the fetus is not a human life? If we are going to start counting fetus in such a manner, wouldn't the argument for abortion need to then turn to women having the right to kill their own children?
