At 25 weeks some fetus's have a chance of survival outside of the mothers body. At 9-12 weeks the embryo becomes a fetus. Would it makes sense to move that timeframe down to 12 weeks while it is in the embryonic phase?Attempting common ground-How about both sides agree that 25 weeks and below a women can have an abortion.
This way we can all agree that late term abortion should be illegal, while agreeing that the mother has the right during the "a bunch of cells" stage to control her body.
The exception would be the health of the women if something goes wrong.

Attempting to have common ground and the choicers would never agree to that.
