What is the arbitrary point that you would grant the unborn child the right to life? If it is strictly limited to children who have been born, then how do you determine the exact moment at which personhood is bestowed?

Personhood is a legal defintion. It is not mine. I believet the embryo, fetus, child, teen, has a "right" to live as soon as someone decides to force it to live by giving it nourishment, and protecting it from enemies. Trillions of other living creatures will attack it, and eventually they will kill it--unless the kid drives drunk or the grown kid gets on the wrong plane.
