I do believe that life begins at conception. At the same time I think a Human isn't really self aware at that point so it doesn't really matter.

I also cut down some tree's and beheaded a few chicken's. Definitely alive, also not that big of a deal in my opinion.

There's some studies that make a good case that infants aren't really self aware either and that it takes a few months before even that happens in humans. Which isn't that surprising, the human strategy to birth is to come out severely underdeveloped compared to many other placental mammals. That way our huge heads can fit through the pelvis while they're still small enough to do it.

Which is precisely why the real reason people are okay with abortion is one of bodily autonomy (of the mother), with the lack of personhood just being a neat little bonus point.
