If you find that the point of conception is not the point at which the created life should be considered a legal person, at what point DO you make that distinction? That, for me, is the critical problem, and I see no justifiable alternative to either saying the infant is not a person until it is actually born, or saying it is a person at conception. Any other position may have political acceptability, but no moral justification.


Which is why birth is the most reasonable alternative for legal purposes, just where the Constitution assumes it to be. For other purposes, other options are more appropriate.
