Actually it doesn't. It would mean that people and, fair or not, women in particular would have to take more resposibility for their actions including those actions that take place in the bedroom.

When the egg is fertilized or in other terms at the moment of conception. That is when the full human genetic sequence is in place and thus in scientific terms anyway the "fetus" is fully human though undeveloped.
My point is that we as human beings are in a constant state of development from the moment we are born until the moment we die.

It depends on how you are measuring the standard. Religiously or medically?
Many different religions set the standard at different places. Some at conception. Some at first breath. Some when the soul enters. But since the law can't pick which religion is correct, there needs to be some other objective standard.
Enter medicine. And we don't even need to go to "fully developed". The most logical point that an unborn can be considered an independent life is when it can exist independently. That's the point of viability, when the unborn can exist outside the womb, independently of the mother, even if with medical help.
And that's where most laws currently draw the line, by the way.

When the they implant in the uterus?
When the zygote divides once?

When the sperm enter the uterus?
When the penis enters the vagina?
When the panties come off?
When the belt buckle hits the floor?

thats the contreversy. i't mater witch state u live in. Many consider an abortion murure if it is done after the second trimester begins. but if you are a hard core christian, just as soon as it was conceived. But dont think so much about it, it will work it's self out. there are other options.

I'm a mother. I felt my son's prescence at conception. If you want to stop abortions you have to separate the prolife movement and the other moral majority nonsense. You will have to accept that there'd be alot more single mothers and they will need your help. There will be alot more poor people having kids they can't afford and so on. So be willing to put your money where your mouth is. Less abortion means more social security style programs and less foreign spending.

If you want the biblical answer, it's at birth or first breath.
