What distinguishes your "moderate" antichoice stance from a radical antichoice ("prolife") one?
Sure, you speak of "not prosecuting" certain kinds of abortions - while quickly adding that you don't want to legitimize them. Basically you want to retain shame as a cardinal tool to enforce keeping a pregnancy once it happened.
And what is this about "perhaps considering yielding (yielding what?) on the use of the "morning after" pill"? "Perhaps considering yielding" is a pejorative nothing. What would be wrong with the more dependable "guaranteeing access without punitive restrictions"?

The sperm is a human life, as is an ovum - as are some sorts of carcinoma. I suggest that the morality of this situation contains subtleties that your post isn't recognizing. Aborting a ten-week embryo should not be placed on the same level of consequence, medical or moral, as dismemberment-in-place of a viable seven-month fetus. Let's introduce a sense of gradation.
