I believe a human body has to develop to a certain point before it can accept a soul.
It's a question of biology, not your puerile stabs at theology. The developing entity is either biologically human or it is not. But if it isn't, then what pray tell is it? (If you answer a zygote or a fetus you are merely describing stages in human development similar to prepubescent or fully adult).
However if you really wish to consider your "belief" as the determining criterion, despite the fact religion is not supposed to play any role in the discussion, consider these words from a truly serious thinker, You do not have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body'

You need more coffee. Or maybe a punch in the mouth.
I'm not interested in your atheism, your thumbing through a thesaurus looking for what you believe are intelligent-sounding insults, or your child's level understanding of biology. I explained that I believe a soul would require a certain level of fetal developmet to contain it. For the biologically challenged, that means I think it's harder for a human soul to live in a rock, a tree, a bird, a monkey or a fetus that hasn't developed up to a certain point. That's called a biological threshold.
And why shouldn't (what you call) religion play a role in a discussion about abortion? I hate to break this to you, but the vast majority of human beings believe they have/are souls in a human body. But if you are in the "thinking meat" minority, then why not just go straight to the law of the jungle? It must piss you off when valuable resources are used to help the disabled, too.
The human soul is the ENTIRE issue of abortion.
ALL of it.
And if that makes you squirm with rage...
Good.
