What is the scientific question?
It's a philosophical/moral/religious question as to whether (or at what point) a fetus she be afforded the generally assumed human right to live, particularly in light of the inherent conflict of any such rights with the mother's right of self-determination. Where does science enter the equation, other than identifying possible relevant times subsequent to conception which might provide some philosophical guidance?

You're kidding, right? That is not the question. The question is at what point does life begin. We are already well familiar with balancing between competing lives. The only reason this is a debate, is that the science is unclear on when a human life begins. Currently, it may be a philosophical/religious question, but that is only because sciense has not advanced to a point where it can answer it definitively. The mystics always exist well in a vacuum knowledge.
