That has more to do with immediate perceptions of life. If you were tasked with saving either a plate of fertilized zygotes or a box of crickets, most people would save the zygotes.
A born human "appears" more alive than an unborn one, but that doesn't make an unborn child not alive and human in the same sense as a born one. I imagine you agree with this because you likely have some issues with killing an unborn child that is one day away from being born.
I just want to be clear: A baby is already a life worth preserving.
To me a zygote, an embryo, and early development fetuses are not.
You are under the assumption that there is a specific point. But that point does not exist. That's why I err on the side of caution and am against late term abortions.
But there is a large difference between a 38 week fetus and a 7 week one. It is dishonest to equate the two.
That's just my point. There is no line. It's all just perception in the mind. People have a much easier time stealing from someone who is not physically present versus someone who is; this does not mean that it is a lesser crime than stealing from someone who is present! Same for someone they don't know vs. someone they do, etc.
Similarly, a developing zygote may not resemble a human as much as one that is about to be born, but that makes it no less a human life. If you can't delineate a point, then you agree that it is always the same - a human life with the same right to life as developed humans.

I straight up said I dont agree with late term abortion. Did you miss that part?
That simply reinforces my point.
At what point does the baby go from "human life worth preserving because it has human experiences" to "just a clump of cells, no loss if it dies"?
