What makes a human being a human being? What distinguishes a human being from the rest of the animal kingdom? If you say genetic information, that's present in ever single cell. If you say anything else, a zygote has a long, long time to go before it shows anything uniquely "human". Life has many potentialities, and many paths not taken. If you want to enforce a particular path on women who are pregnant and don't want to be (maybe even in cases of rape and incest, if you think like the current AG), you can profess that belief, but your profession doesn't make it true. Calling a fertilized egg an "innocent child' may fuel your moral self righteousness, but it doesn't give you the power to tell women faces with difficult choices what they can and cannot do. Pro-choice doesn't mean pro-abortion, it means pro-choice, and letting people profess their own beliefs.
