I’m actually pretty surprised at the amount of anti-abortion sentiment I’ve seen. Running with the notion, where would the stance be:
Charge mothers with failure to provide necessaries of life? - Mothers should be on prenatal supplements before they even get pregnant. Should mothers be subject to prosecution if their offspring has issues because she wasn’t providing the baby adequate levels of folate?
Child support - Mothers have full burden to support a fetus during gestation. Should Child support should be required from date of conception.
Reckless Endangerment - mothers who engage in activities which endanger the wellbeing of the fetus. Should they be prosecuted for drug and alcohol use during gestation? Should mothers be held responsible long term if their offspring has FASD or the like? Doesnit extened to risky behaviour, like drinking coffee or eating raw fish or deli meat?
Socially - when a mother miscarries, does society offer the same emotional supports that would be afforded to a mother with deceased 6 month old? In my experience, that’s not the case.

My belief is a fetus is a life when the mother recognizes it as such, or when it would be medically viable outside the womb. If a mother views a fetus as a parasitic biological process and wishes to terminate, I think that’s her call. I think that’s better for society and children.
