Am I Not a Person?

I recently watched the old b&w "To Be or Not To Be"(1942) and one of the characters quoted Shylock, though he was speaking of racial/religious injustice I thought it spoke well on the issue of abortion. 
So I will take some liberties with the wording:


I am a person.
Hath not a person eyes?
Hath not a person hands, organs, dimensions, senses...
If you prick us, do we not bleed?
If you poison us, do we not die?
