Because in Genesis - God Breathed Life into Adam. In the Bible - Life is defined as beginning when We Take A Breath. No Breath - No Life!
The Bible was written for an agrarian culture. A person or an animal had to be born and breathe on its own to be alive. Before that it was part of the female and only potential life.

Today’s livestock breeding contracts are STILL written like that! A “live birth” is one in which the offspring is born, and is breathing (and frequently stands and nurses). Just having a heartbeat in the mother is nice but doesn’t mean much because it’s still part of the mother.
You can count on the Christofascists to ignore or misread the book they pretend to revere so much. Their god is the god of the tribe, and the present-day descendants of that tribe still say live begins at first breath.
