single cell zygote the same level of protection as a baby in the 2nd or 3rd trimester. That just the way it is, whether or not we agree with it. 2 cells, 4 cells, 8 cells.....it's still the same person

Like the other posters, you're missing the point. If conception is the legal start of personhood, then a one-celled zygote deserves the same protection as a 2, 4, 8 or whatever celled person. Legally, that means a woman could be charged with manslaughter for having a miscarriage or murder for using the pill. You might think a zygote deserves that level of protection. I might even agree, but you've got to convince a majority of voters to support you. That's my point. Most people, even Christians, aren't willing to treat the death of a freshly fertilized egg, a one-celled zygote, the same as the death of a child.
