Thomas, I well know we can argue this, and indeed the sperm lives, as does the ova and they are the essence of a human being so life is continuous. A new combination forms and lives, but that life exists at the whim of many factors, choice, embryonic error, etc some within the control of the person, some random events..
As for god etc.
I feel gods of various types are creations of men who seek control over their fellow men in other terms than force of arms. Quite frenkly they are a con job by the priesthood who get free food and lodging as well as power.

Lets face it, if the god you believe in existed and felt like you then there would be zero abortion. That means he does not exist or he beileves in abortion and you are wrong.

Frankly the whole concept of a god is suh a totally flawed concept that is has to be false.
5% of the USA believes in god if you countchurch attendance.
If you ask them about 70% believes due to pervasive social pressures. In some countries these socal pressures are far more powerful, Afghanistan for one, with religious police enforcing the fraud in fear of it being overthrown.

We as a people set the rules and live by them. If we want it to be legal to kill adults in human sacrifices to a sun god we can do it. All you need is a consensus and a ruling clergy and it can be done. old Egypt and the various aztec groups did this.....
And what make you feel your religion is any better than theirs??
