There is no universal consensus, and different cultures, religions, and legal systems have varied interpretations. For example, in Judaism, a fetus is not considered a person (nefesh) until it has been born. The Talmud, which is one of their holy books, states that if a woman's life is in danger, an unborn child may be aborted until the head has emerged from the womb.
On the other hand, the pro-choice argument is not necessarily about denying the humanity or life of a fetus. It's about the right of a woman to control her own body. In this perspective, the woman's rights, her health, her socioeconomic circumstances, and her ability to provide for a child are crucial factors to consider.
For instance, in the landmark case Roe v. Wade in 1973, the U.S Supreme Court ruled that a state law that banned abortions (except to save the life of the mother) was unconstitutional and that women have the constitutional right to choose whether to have an abortion. This ruling was based not only on privacy rights but also on the 14th Amendment, which prohibits states from denying any person "life, liberty or property, without due process of law" or to "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
As you mentioned, this conversation does indeed turn to an argument on morality. It's a complex issue with many perspectives. Each side has deeply held beliefs, and it's essential to approach the discussion with respect and understanding.
