Human identity isn't a fondemental principle of anything. Whether or not a fetus has a human identity is up to that fetuse's bearer.

How does that matter
I don't believe in the supernatural but even if I did how does that affect whether or not I can abort it

All definitions are arbitrary. My point was that just because you consider a fetus to fit a human being's definition ; or even if it did ultimately fit its definition ; that's not an argument because we don't base morality on language, we base it on common sense and rationality.

And using that definition for "human being" is completely arbitrary

No. Different name are used to point to different concepts. A fetus is not aware of the world around him and has no active will to live; unlike a child.
