It's simple. While an embryo or non-viable fetus is human life, it is not a human being.

Women are human beings. If a human being does not wish to carry that non-viable and completely dependant fetus/embryo to term for any reason whatsoever, that's her call. Not yours, not mine, and certainly not the government's.

Humans have always valued human beings over other life forms. The only reason so many assholes vault embryos over women is because they want women back in their "proper place" in society.
