I think we should prioritize the health and safety of the mother carrying said child- by limiting or banning abortion you put more than half of expecting mothers at extreme risks due to unforeseen circumstances while pregnant, not being able to carry the child due to health, etc. Also, we should focus on the fact that if this child is being brought into the world by force you run the risk of it being abused, abandoned, killed, etc. our adoption facilities and systems are not strong enough
They are not babies the second the sperm hits the egg. It is scientifically proven that the sperm and egg to not become a fetus until 11 weeks. At that stage, it is officially a fetus but still cannot feel emotion, pain, or any human tendencies. Women have the right to make a decision about what happens to and occurs in their own bodies. It is a fundamental right that should not be taken away. It is forever the womans choice.

It is also a concern for the mother if they are able to provide a suitable living condition for the baby also with the fact if they can afford the baby or not. There are a lot of other concerns to this question rather than if it is a baby or not. But it is still a fetus which cannot feel, think, or act on its own so it would not know of its own existent.

During the beginning of pregnancy, there isn't really a baby to begin with. While the egg is fertilized, it hasn't developed enough to have the main physical components of a person, such as skin, a skeleton, brain, etc. It also hasn't developed enough to survive on its own, technically classifying it as a parasite, due to it taking nutrients and resources from the mother.

So, what you are trying to say here, is that if a baby is a baby the second the sperm hits the egg, then that means you are also saying if an blueprint is of a house, then the house already exists before being built? Or that a cake is already a cake the moment you mix the ingredients? By that logic, a blueprint would already be a house and mixing eggs, flour, and sugar would already be a cake, even though both still need time and development before they become what we recognize as a house or a cake, just like how a baby would need time and development before it can be even recognized as a baby, rather than it being already developed the moment the sperm hits the egg.
Actually, during the certain stages of pregnancy, it's been said that the baby is considered a "parasite" at a point. Also, why be concerned about children who aren't even born yet and couldn't care less for the children in fosters homes or on the street? If abortion was to be banned, it's been proven that people would preform their own unsafe ways to get rid of the baby. People's main argument on why abortions should be banned is because the "birth rates would go down", but honestly, we as humans are so populated it's insane.

You are technically right. Technically when it fully develops in the womb that is a baby and when it is birthed it will ultimately be a human child. However when then sperm hits the egg the embryo won’t even carry a fetus till 9 weeks. It’ll only be some cells that are floating around. So I think yes don’t kill a baby. But if you choose to get rid of a few cells that haven’t sprouted into anything yet then you should do so.

Yes, I agree. Human life begins at the moment of conception as that is when a unique set of DNA is formed. This is also supported scripturally ("Before I formed you in the womb I knew you" - Jeremiah 1:5). If it is a human being then it should be given human rights, with the most unalienable being the right to life. Abortion is murder and is the largest current genocide in our country, with nearly 1 million deaths per yer.
