When do you think life begins?

That's the wrong question.

Seeds are living things. Eggs are living things. But no one ever mistook an egg for a chicken. There are ovo-vegetarians and vegans. Vegans make a moral decision to give equal moral standing to the egg and the chicken. But they know the difference. An egg is ovoid and hard. A chick is fuzzy and peeps. A chick is a being. An egg is not.

We can assign moral standing to the unborn without abandoning critical thinking and blurring the distinction between born and unborn.
