I do want to say, philosophers are just philosophers, not scientists. No matter how many of them agree on anything in regards to human life, they do not know a thing.
I also want to point out that before the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, there were plenty of people who were anti-abortion, if I recall correctly, who killed doctors who practiced abortion. Furthermore, those same people who claim to be pro-life are religious or republicans, or anything else bad like being crazy. There is a good number of them who have killed others with the killers being racist, homophobic, transphobic, against another's religion, etc. I can safely say that those people, while not all of them kill, (and even if you don't kill does not mean you are good) have shared behaviors of others who claim to be pro-life or discriminatory. Therefore, I can say the pro-life people are hypocrites. They are not pro-life, they are pro-selves, meaning they only care about themselves. If they were pro-life, they would not kill anyone, abortion doctors and all.
That said, as I may have said before, a fetus does not exercise rights of an actual living being; in fact, I am sure the legal definition of a person is not something that includes or should include fetuses. Therefore, fetuses, since they are not born yet, can't have the rights of a living being unless they decide to change the legal definition of what is a person. In fact, I am sure the decision of those who overturned Roe vs. Wade and thus, siding with the fetus inside a mother contradicts the legal definition of what a person is.
That said, a fetus, again, is not born yet, so if it were a living thing, we would have to add 9 months to every person's age because they were alive in a person's womb. Thing is, we don't do that, because the fetus has not become born yet. Therefore, it makes no sense to consider a fetus a living being in this regard.
Plus, murder only applies to those who have been born or alive, not something developing to become a human being like a fetus, and it is not a human being, only developing to become one, but it is still not one.
Another thing is that many Christians believe life begins at conception, or when the sperm meets the egg, if I recall correctly. That is not what the bible says, and even if we were to use religion here, the bible says that "life begins at first breath". That is another contradiction of religion if I ever saw one.
And even if a fetus develops a consciousness, it still is not a living being physically. Having a consciousness only does so much to make a being a living thing, as it is not the only thing that makes a person living.
With all that said, murder only applies to legal living things, and a fetus is by no means a legal living thing.
