If you think about it, the idea that a human being who could survive outside the womb isn't a human for the purposes of killing it is an insane and purely religious stance. It reminds me of racist ideas saying blacks weren't completely human so it was ok to treat them like garbage which we now look back on with shame.
But if you see an embryo in the womb after just 12 weeks on an ultrasound you start seeing arms and legs and a beating heart and it's moving around on its own... It's hard to look at that and not see a developing human being. Not on a religious level but as simple empirical fact.

I was brought up in a progressive household but now I can't help but agree with you. I think this is one thing they are wrong about.
I guess my "respect life" programming was stronger than my "respect women's 'autonomy'" programming.
This also coheres with my semi-vegetarianism.
