You're confusing a fertilized egg with a human being. That's your scientific and ethical error.
By your logic, once a sperm meets an egg that's a person.
That's like saying one a pine cone drops to the ground that's a tree. It really makes no rational sense at all. For a long time I have realized that what the right wing really wants on this issue is to ban sex. No sexual enjoyment allowed. Back to the Victorian age. And if you think I'm wrong, try to find one anti-choice activist who has a healthy sex life. I enjoy sex, so I'm defending my rights. And maybe you need to get laid.

I also want women to have the rights to make up their minds about what to do the morning after (RU-486 should be freely available) and even a month or two down the line. After that the choice becomes a very-very painful one and there is no winning decision. Still the developing feotus isn't really at all human until it at least has the beginnings of a spinal cord (and not even a brain yet) and that isn't until about 5 months into the process, if I remember correctly.

Finally, if the rightwing cares so much about babies then why are they pro-war, pro-polluters and why do they rarely adopt the unwanted babies of the world?
