69. It's human life
Human DNA, little fingers and toes at a certain point. Yes, we know. So what? Every pregnancy is borne by a human female, who has the right to choose not to subject herself to a continued pregnancy.
Consider; Male humans who don't have this biological function, never have to worry about personal pregnancy. Restrictive abortion laws have half of the human race subjugated to a inferior reproductive status simply by the accident of being born female. A violation of human rights at best. Misogyny? Hell yes it is.

What a fetus is or is not, is also up to the female enduring pregnancy. She may choose to think of it as a baby. She may choose to think of it as a parasite. Not my business.

Pregnancy is dangerous. It's life-altering. It's bloody. It's barbaric, really. Whether it's convenient or not to any particular woman is also not my business.
