"an entirely distinct human being with it's own DNA, etc"
What makes us human beings is our personalities, our brains. Chop off my hand, I'm still me. Destroy my brain, I'm deceased regardless of how long you keep my other organs going.
A fetus does not become human, IMO, until it can have a personality and sentience. Women have the power to create without consent of the created; the power to destroy their not-yet-human equally lacks the consent of the created. If the latter is prohibited than so should the former.
From a societal view, we have enough people. Every way to support people consensually choosing to not have children should be encouraged.
