Then you disagree with Rabbi Aaron Parry, who writes,

"In Jewish law, a fetus transitions into a full-fledged "independent" human being when the head emerges from the womb.....
How does this law apply practically? As mentioned, once the head is born, or if breech, the majority of the body, the baby is viewed as an independent life. Therefore, even if the mother's life is being threatened at the end of delivery, the Talmud clearly instructs that one life may not be set aside to ensure another life..."
