Okay, at what point is the soul (or conscience) inserted into the fetus? It seems like the basis for your argument relies heavily on the unborns awareness of itself. I could settle on outlawing abortions when the mother is 6 months + In, because then it has become an irresponsibilty on behalf of her and now the fetus has come to a point in which it may have either of the aforementioned qualities of human and therefor, a right to live. A choice.
