<<<Those who oppose abortion believe those fertilized eggs are human life and they are trying to prevent you from taking that life. I understand the arguments. >>>

In the case of very early abortions, clearly their belief is a metaphysical one. To oppose RU486, they assert that a microscopic fertilized egg is a "human being." The only definition of "human being" that doesn't distinguish between a potential one (a "blueprint") and a physical one is one dependent on a metaphysical concept -- that is, an item of religious dogma.

In this country we have freedom of religion. We aren't supposed to force others to accept the precepts of ours however positive we are we are right and they are wrong.
