re: For those who are pro choice: At what point do you feel a fetus becomes a human being?

Some passing thoughts:
As a Physician who has thoroughly studied embryology and human development I have NO IDEA when Human Life begins.
As a Devote Christian I have NO IDEA when the SOUL enters the body.
More than half of the fertilizations do not go on to a live birth, that is even without elective abortions.
There are many conditions in which the fetus may develop a heart beat, yet be incapable of surviving outside the womb.
Terminating the life of a living individual, or one capable of independent life, is murder.
If a Woman/Family is ever faced with the situation where they must consider the possibility of terminating a pregnancy, they should seek guidance from their God and their Doctor. They shouldn't have to consult with the Government!
When you put the Government power of saying who can or can't have an Abortion, you also give them the power to, at some time in the future, say who MUST have an abortion! Welcome to Eugenics and Germany 1935!
We need to keep the Government out of this as much as possible!
If I as a very well educated Physician don't know when LIFE begins, I refuse to be told when LIFE begins by a bunch of people whose last exposure to any science, let alone any biological science, was giggling through Sex Ed in 6th Grade!!!

I am a physician that studied embryology as well. Life starts at conception. Sure some don’t make it due to defects. Some don’t make it outside the womb long due to defects as well. It was still human life.

I feel like this doesn't get discussed enough. For the record, I'm definitely more in the undecided camp on early stage abortions.
I hear people say that God or Allah or whatever compels them to believe that life begins at conception. However, it would seem strange that so many of those conceived do not actually pull through. It's weird to think that God would intend for that to happen, but then also feel as though mothers shouldn't have any say.

I have NO IDEA when the SOLE enters the body

I don't really think the fight should be over when the fetus is considered human enough to proceed or not proceed. The fact of the matter is, it's human DNA, has the potential given all of the right circumstances to grow into a human baby. It's not like there is some alien xenomorph growing in the womans belly and will be the scurge of the earth. It human regardless of any timeline you give it.
Trying to determine a timeline of viability, humanity, or whatever label you want to give it, is subjective. It's open to interpretation. As much so as a offensive foul is in basketball. Or PI in football. When in fact you can't debate genetics, it's human 100%.
