I currently hold a pro-choice view. To my understanding, the strongest pro-life argument is that abortion kills a human being with full moral rights.

This seems to depend heavily on the claim that personhood (and therefore full moral rights) begins at conception or very early in pregnancy.

I’m not really convinced there’s a clear, non-arbitrary reason to say personhood starts at conception rather than at things like consciousness, sentience.

But I am humbly open to being convinced that conception is a morally valid boundary, or that alternative criteria fail for stronger reasons than I currently see.

What do you guys think?
