When it's born.
So a person only magically becomes a human when they get born? What about the birth process makes them any more or less human?
The consent of the woman to allow the use of her body is the only thing that matters.
Yes. It's a distinction we draw based on nature and it's vitally important to have that distinction. Comparing fetuses to people who are disabled; etc. are false equivalencies because they've already been born and thus already have those rights. Birth is the quintessential start of life.
But we both know you're never going to accept that because you want to subjugate women and deny them happiness, and that's all this is really about.
This is an almost religious claim with no empirical evidence backing it.
You have really been sold a narrative haven't you. I just think killing babies because you don't want them is bad. That's pretty much the extent of it.
