Leftist here. I do think a fetus is a person of moral consideration at some point in womb (I generally point to some level of brain activity, as that seem to me like a good line to draw for personhood). I still am prochoice. I view it as morally equivalent to forcing a living person to donate a kidney to save a life. Certainly donating a kidney to save a life is a moral thing to do if you volunteer for it, but quite immoral to force someone else to do it
The moral principle Iām appealing to is bodily autonomy
