I would say it's NPOV to say that a fetus is human life (what other kind of life could it be if it's a human fetus?), but it's POV to attribute personhood to the fetus, which is a legal issue only indirectly tied to the biological one.
Well, "personhood" in this case is a kind of misnomer for "humanity." Hence debates regarding the humanity of the fetus are also included even though, yes, "personhood" is a social (hence, legal) definition, and humanity is a universal (and coincidentally, biological) definition.
