Woah, guys, you're starting to use the same sorts of arguments that pro-abortion people use. Better watch that, now.

There is a distinct difference between the two.
Anti-abortionists claim that abortion is murder and act to protect the right of the fetus. The moral judgement they make is that it is wrong to kill another person.
There are no rights being defended when conception has not yet occurred. The moral judgement being made goes far beyond simple defense of life, and becomes much more far reaching, as it decides whether or not a person can have sex without becoming pregnant.
Rights are defended in the first case. They are violated in the second. Apples and oranges.
