I guess it's possible that some people are very confused.  But that is because there are many Christians, Muslims, and Jews who have compromised their religious beliefs in order to fit in with the culture at large.  The fact is that Christianity came into an empire that had no problem with abortion, and Christianity then proceeded to destroy that empire's tolerance of abortion.  And the increasing tolerance for the practice is directly tied to the secularization of the West.

I don't know about "pro-choice", but the anti-abortion movement is a development of political Christianity only over the past few generations.
The Pro-Life movement is based on science not religion.

Is that why it only exists in countries with significant influence from political Christianity? Do they not have science in Japan?

Btw, personhood is philosophical, not scientific.
Every biology textbook will tell you that per the scientific definition of life begins at conception. The Pro-Abortion movement rejects that and declares life is philosophical and sentience is the issue. Your sarcasm is noted and disregarded.

Wow, you googled for a few articles to support your position and found them. I can do the same for mine, ex: http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2017/04/when_does_life_begin_outside_the_christian_right_the_answer_is_over_time.html

The abortion debate is philosophical, not scientific. That's why in Europe it's only an issue in countries strongly under the influence of the Catholic Church, and not an issue at all in Asia.

IIRC most Asian countries have stricter abortion laws than the US.
