So, in my thinking, people who have abortions or believe in the right to have them, must believe that the fetus is not a person.

The debate is still about abortion. There are different angles to both sides of debate. Some people come from a religious angle, some come from the angle of the unborn's rights, some come from the angle of adult responsibility, some come from the angle of the physical and emotional toll it takes on women, etc.
Many people believe the fetus is alive and breathing and still believe in a woman's right to choose. Afterall, women's rights to terminate a pregnancy if their lives are in danger is often not disputed. That is considered a justifiable abortion in the eyes of some.
