Texas' 6-Week Abortion Ban Takes Effect

True. That's a question of natural law not science. But science does acknowledge facts. And the fact is that a human being exists from conception.
So then science categorizes, it doesnt have any authority. It doesnt conceptualize law or rights or value.

People do, societies, courts, Constitutions. What authority that Americans are obligated to follow says the unborn humans have rights?

We do. Abortion deliberately takes the life of a human being. Science has long held that the unborn are human beings.
It takes the life of what could develop into a human. The science is not settled on that topic.

What is it before it's a human, then?

If that were true, they each could sleep in their own bed. (A simplistic statement but your statement to me reflects a religious belief system which doesn't make your statement universally true.)
 
what human being? There is no person who is killed.
I did not say a person... I said a human. All you did here was commit a Straw Man.
 
Neither is a 10 year old.
In the context in we are discussing it, a ten year old is, given that it’s not in the process of building out basic biological functions

Nothing I'm saying has to do with religion. You think an unborn doesn't become a human until he/she is born?

We're discussing biology, right? Human development. A 10 year old isn't a fully formed human.
