If you would like to learn more about the arguments on both sides of the debate (since you seem receptive to such arguments), then I recommend you read this thread.  It contains most or all of the arguments in the thread you read, plus rebuttals, plus completely different arguments.  In particular the claim that fetuses are aware at 11-12 weeks is rebutted, IIRC.

[edit:  or maybe not ... thankfully I can glean the answer right from posts between the two threads.  Brainwaves activity isn't till 18 weeks and even totally brain dead people can have similar reactions to stimuli.  Therefore it seems clear that whether or not the fetus reacts to being poked there is no true awareness.]

Well here is something that shows how receptive I am to your thread.

@Akuma
It wasn't the law that persuaded me.
It was the talk about responsibility for one's own actions.
Having sex, asking her partner to wear a condom, taking birth control pills, etc those are all her actions and ways to prevent something she doesn't want to happen.
If she gets pregnant because of not taking the proper precautions and/or having too much sex(she knows the "consequences" of this activity yet she still keeps doing it) then the onus is hers to bear.
There should not be a reset button for her mistakes, if she doesn't think she's ready then do the proper precautions or just not have sex. You wont die if you stop having sex.. If she fails at that then she has to take responsibility.

What happened to the days of Virtue?
Discipline? Responsibility? Commitment?

People really do need to stop and think about the consequences of their actions.
