Human personhood is linked to consciousness. A human who is brain dead is considered dead even if the body lives on. By extension then, life begins with the development of consciousness, which requires the development of certain brain structures around the 26th week iirc

Ok and abortionists want to abort babies up until they come out of their mother so what's your point? Abortion is wrong.

No one wants to do that.

Babies aren't aborted. In most places where abortion is legal its only permitted up to a certain point - eg. in the UK its under 24 weeks, typically the vast majority are carried out within the first few weeks.

Not as a form of birth control. For when it's medically necessary. Because no one who wants to end a pregnancy simply because they won't want a kid is going to wait that long if they have access to abortion sooner.
