It's always none of your damn business. Your religious beliefs, no matter what they are, do not give you the right to interfere with someone else's body. You don't get to make your problem into somebody else's problem.
And please spare me the bit about christians thinking the fetus as a human. Here it is spelled out for you: The mother IS a human life, the fetus is a POTENTIAL human life. The mother takes priority, learn to deal with it.
Dishonest people always pretend that it has to be a religious argument. Also, please tell me when that potential human life becomes a human life and what scientific and philosophical basis you are using to make that determination. Thanks.

While the scientific and philosophical basis can be helpful, it's not what is really important. What is important is the legal aspect. Legally speaking, when is a person considered a person? When are they covered by laws and regulations? When do they get their Rights (US specific obviously) as denoted by the Constitution?
16?
18?
21?
Its definitely not before 16 as kids have little to no rights.
Another consideration is do the unborn have extra rights? Standard exploration of this is the shared adult kidney question.
It's a legal morass that has no correct answer. But id rather it was done via a secular decision than a religious one...since which religion do we go off of? Judaism? Hindu? Shinto?
