That point is nine months after conception.

Up to that point they care. Afterwards, they couldn't care less.

But the OP said "human life," so I addressed that specific subject. Republicans are the ultimate control freaks. They want to control people's lives in general, not just women. They want children to get the proper "indoctrination," and they want adults to believe only what they believe, and contrary to the Constitution, they want an establishment of religion.
