Not to mention, lots of people who are "Pro-Choice" tend to favour science over religion. Well in science, a fetus is a living thing whether it's 1 hour old or 8 months.

You are making things up when you say you have heard of plenty of abortions between 5-6 months. The cut off for medical abortions is at 20 weeks. Between 20 - 25 weeks, medical abortions are extremely rare, and only under very special medical circumstances.
The sheer ignorance of your last paragraph there has already been addressed nicely by other posters.
For the record, Canadian medical professionals define a fetus as obtaining the rights of a human being once the umbilical cord has been cut.
Comments of a fetus being a living entity at the moment of conception by virtue of its ability to become a human being are also false, as any fetus removed from the womb before 20 weeks is incompatible with life. It cannot exist independantly, let alone persist and become a human being. It is as dependant upon the human body as all the other cells in your body that divide and grow everyday.
And finally, removing the ability of a medical professional to perform legal abortions will merely drive abortions underground, or even worse, encourage women to undertake extreme measures upon their own body to terminate unwanted pregnancies.
