When exactly does a fetus become a baby? At the point of birth? There is no easy way out of this dilemma.
Opinion polls are very easy to game by phrasing questions differently. Ask people at what number of weeks is it ok to crush a growing baby (fetus) into pieces and vacuum it out, and you will get a wildly different percentage.

The easy way is the one already taken: by putting more restrictions the closer you get to the time of birth, and not at all addressing the question of when it counts as a baby. The easy way is not making that question the focus, because it inevitably leads to a discussion of "when does the soul inhabit the body" - a religious argument.
There is no religious argument here. Either it's a baby or it's not. Either you're killing another human being or you're not. You don't need to believe in "souls" to find this type of killing abhorrent.
This is simply false. You don't have to be religious to be against killing babies. Many non-religious people find it barbaric.
