In terms of removing the fetus from her body, the mother has a right to do that at any time for any reason. You have the absolute sayv over your body and the reasons to violate that are extremely few and far between.
I have no qualms about regulating the specific manner that it happens once the fetus reaches viability though. Like an 8 month birth is probably less risky than an 8 month abortion, but she will always retain the right to decide to remove another person from her body.
This is largely my position as well. The "When does life begin?" question is, in my opinion, irrelevant to the discussion. I'd be happy to utilize anyone's standard of measurement, including to the point of conception, as it is completely separate from the real-world application of that standard and the impact it has on bodily autonomy.
