It is a life, and a human life at that:  we ain't talking puppies or lizards, here....The question is whether it is in any meaningful sense a human person bearing rights.  And THAT is where the moral issue lies and that is where the court said there is no issue in the first trimester, only for the mother's health in the second trimester, and only to save the mother's life in the third trimester.  But, in the first trimester?  It's a larger or smaller clump of cells, with a heart and eyes even in the second month, but isn't in any meaningful sense a person--by my standards.  But--and here is the point--in the first trimester, you get to use your OWN religious standards (hence the invocation of the notion of privacy!)  Where does anyone come off telling my wife or daughter or sister what to believe about the personhood of that entity at that stage?
