It is emotional though.

To an extent. My emotional responses were separated and documented as such. You're letting it feed into your otherwise intelligent responses is all i'm pointing out.

How can you claim it is otherwise when you say that what you would consider a human being, you believe other human beings can decide to end? You just said you believe a fetus/embryo/etc is a child at any stage. It makes absolutely no sense to state that, then to say that someone else can end a life at the same point because of whatever they feel.

My beliefs have no bearing on the freedoms of others to make their own choices.

Do you believe it is a human life or not?

Personally, yes, I do.

If it truly is up to whatever each person decides on their own, then why does any life matter? When does any life matter?

One could argue this point in many different ways. I would personally argue that life does not matter. Biologically we all live, we all die. We give back to the earth as our bodies decompose and our thoughts and beliefs cease to matter. No one life is more important than the other, because in the grand scheme of the collective "us" (humans) we don't matter. Especially not on an individual scale. Does any one primate's life matter over another primate's? (Sorry, analogies again.)

Another argument could be that we as humans tend to create these social constructs which have no bearing on the existence of life as a whole, and should have no bearing on the fundamental freedoms which should be afforded to all living things. In other words, does an ant's life matter as much as a humans? No? Why? Why are we more important?
