After you have committed to having the baby.
Yes, fertilization is indeed codifying this commitment to start a family. See, common ground!
Nowhere did I day fertilization is commitment.
If your condom breaks, you never intended to have a baby, thus not committed. If you find out you are pregnant a few weeks later after all and haven't committed to having the baby, you consider your options and aport it if you don't want to commit. If you find out you want to keep it, you don't abort it and you have now made a commitment, and can't abort it if you change your minds again a few months or years later.
Sure, but commitments don't ultimately change biology. After fertilization, you're making the choice to snuff out a life or not.
Correct. Biologically it is just a bunch of cells dividing. Killing cells is not life.
When does it come a person? When you have committed to it going to be a person. Which happens after fertilization, not upon it.
You are going in circles now trying to put words in my mouth.
You asked when it becomes a person. I answered, and you didn't like that answer.
Read a biology textbook lol, this isn't about your insipid opinions, it's actually quite a simple fact. Biologically, when does life begin? My bio textbook has a clear answer, and it doesn't coincide with your brilliant opinion. Let me guess, biology textbooks are all secretly just right wing propaganda too?
