I don't know the answer to that one.
Is that a prerequisite in order for it to be protected?

Some say yes, it does begin to develop self-awareness.
But is that a prerequisite in order for it to be protected?

If the mother does, the fetus does.

Let's just go ahead and kill all petty thieves. They don't obey the laws. Heck, you and I should be killed for speeding.
Then, let's round up all the people who live under harsh dictatorships - they don't enjoy rights and liberties.
