Really? Since you brought up science, how come if scientists found a single cell organism on another planet it would be exclaimed that life was found on another planet, but the same standard is not held here on earth?
It is not about the "right to be a parent" the government certainly has a right and an obligation to tell its citizens they can not murder.
And "opt out" like that isn't really an option out, is it?

Alright then... explain how 38 US states have fetal homicide laws which allow charging an attacker whose attack causes a miscarriage with the additional crime of deadly assault against the unborn baby? These laws have withstood SCOTUS challenges, so yes, there is legal precedent for defining a fetus as a human being.

That's where we disagree.
I consider an unborn child an individual human being.
