The differences you discuss are not scientific, they are philosophical.It's one of the most aggravating things about this discussion.What "biology" are you referring to? Not the science that goes by that name, presumably.
Life Cycle of a Primate is elementary science. But when science interferes with somebody's world view they don't understand it. Talking to feticide rights people about science is like talking to YEC people about science.
As long as science supports their opinions it's fine. When it doesn't it becomes incomprehensible. Suddenly, they don't understand the difference between "life", "being alive", "an individual live", and "a human life".
Really. It's right there in this thread.

Biology only discusses chemical activities, and molecular motors, often in general or large scale aggregate.
Raw, moving, real chemicals don't care about arbitrary distinctions we make between "life" "an individual life" or "a human life".
What CAN be said is that we each will defend ourselves, most of us lethally, to keep others from coopting us and our organs to others
