People asked me when a fetus becomes a person. The answer is
the 3rd Trimester:
*Last of all to mature is the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for most of what we think of as mental life–conscious experience, voluntary actions, thinking, remembering, and feeling. It has only begun to function around the time gestation comes to an end.

since fetuses can survive outside the womb by the 2nd trimester i would agree with the Roman policy that abortion is limited to:
Abortion in Italy became legal in May 1978, when Italian women were allowed to terminate a pregnancy on demand during the first 90 days*.

after that then only be extreme circumstances…like life when the mother’s life is at risk.
