"it is long-established, proven, hard scientific fact that human life begins at conception."

Of course 'life begins'.. This is a given, as we agreed in the first few posts..

We disagreed here where you claimed:

"it therefore follows that the right to life exists at the moment of conception."

And I, answered at #20:

Not so. The legal consequenses of such a theory would be ludicrous. -- In effect, all fertile females from conception to viablity could be charged with murder for aborting..

And I continued to say that indeed they have murdered their children, in fact.

Which leads us to a sticking point: how do you define murder?

Please explain to this non-libertarian what is so ludicrous about charging women who abort their children with murder.
