1) It is not about a woman's body. From the moment of conception when a never-before-seen DNA is created it is about a second body--heart, blood, brain, limbs all separate from hers.
2) It is indeed about life and not about your definition of "personhood." The law of our land from the outset, as our Declaration of Independence from the British crown states most succinctly, is "that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life...."
The 5th Amendment to our Constitution states that "no person shall be deprived of life...without due process of law." Abortion is the depriving of life, no matter when it is performed.
3) Methinks thou dost protest too much. Are you suffering from a past abortion decision yourself, a choice that you need to come to grips with?
Oh, of course not. Embryos grow inside of eggs in the storks nest.

Who's we? Why those are persons! Persons wrote the Declaration, for the people(who are persons) and are justified in identifying who persons are, as they are justified in determining at what age those persons attain the age of reason.
