I’m not religious. The term “soul” is a religious concept. It has has no meaning to me personally, and should have no influence on government or law.

As for taxable humans, which should be the only concern the government has as it relates to babies born, I agree that once they leave the body of the person birthing them, usually accompanied by breathing, they can be considered separate and whole people. I don’t subscribe to “viability” either. That’s a caveat that ignores the pregnant person’s bodily autonomy.

If we took care of and protected women as well as we do property, there would be far fewer maternal deaths.
