> It mostly boils down to what they personally feel comfortable with emotionally (and that’s fine, but not something you can apply in law for all people).
Every democratic country has laws which are motivated by the way people feel emotionally. Check out this map: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Europe#/media/File...

12 weeks in Germany, 24 weeks in the UK. Why is there such a difference? Because these laws are based on how people feel.
Well yes, obviously there are laws based (maybe) on majority opinion or average opinion. What I mean is that opinions will vary and you can’t satisfy everyone. There is no objective right or wrong cutoff hence why there is philosophical debate about it.
Canada's is legal up until the fetus leaves the womb. It's also possible to kill a fetus inside the womb and suffer no consequence for said killing.

That Canadian law does not cover the edge case of first-degree murder for a fetus is a hole in the rules, not permission to kill.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Do you have more recent information that shows it is now illegal to forcefully terminate the functionality of a 40-week fetus while in the womb in Canada?
Calling it a hole in the rules is inaccurate. It's not a person. You can disagree if you want.
My post was informational and intentionally lacking opinion.
