Now you are really mixing apples and oranges...there is a difference in when a person becomes a living being, a human being, and a citizen.
in this country, and according to current US law, a person becomes a viable human life at 28[or so]weeks of gestation; a person becomes a US citizen at "birth".
please lets not confuse the issue[topic] here.
