That fetus has a full, complete human DNA sequence separate from and distinct from the mother's. From conception, that new human being meets all signs of life (made of one or more cells, uses energy, reacts to external stimuli, regulation between internal and external resources, grows and develops, potential for reproduction, and capability of movement). It is a whole, complete, separate human life, and the claim that anything beyond the point of conception is the mother's body is a denial of basic biological science. If you can provide me scientific proof that this is wrong, I will consider changing my views.
No, I am conflating living humans with living humans. My post does not mention the word "person" once. Furthermore, my argument doesn't mention religion at all. You are trying to thrust philosophical arguments and extremely questionable theology into a statement of biological science.
