please refer to 冰冰's post regarding the status of the fetus

my personal view is that a fetus which is capable of independent survival without artificial life support is a true living human being

my focus is on the point that we don't have the right to determine for the pregnant woman

we should provide abortion access for her but we should not encourage nor discourage abortion, all we can do is to give adequate information on the consequences of her choices
