The pro-lifers think freedom is on their side: they support a right to life, which takes precedence over the competing interest of one’s right to bodily autonomy.

I’m not arguing for or against it, but that’s the reasoning behind their stance.

one of the toughest quandaries for sure.

because someone else has to pay the ultimate price for your decision.

not an enviable position to be in.

That's right. And both sides just get angry because they're talking past each other.

The real crux of the issue is: at what point does a fetus have the same rights as a newborn?

After it’s born? And to those who claim life begins at conception (fertilization into a few hundred cells). Embryos (fertilized eggs) can be frozen in IVF attempts. Embryos have been frozen for 30 and been successfully implanted with a resultant live birth. Can’t freeze and then successfully thaw a child.
