So by saying that a zygote isn't obviously human, it provides the legal rationale to abort it.
That is exactly my point. A zygote ISN'T obviously human. It may be to you, but it isn't to a vast portion of the populace. Argue all you want about mob rule and the like, but that doesn't stop any of the abortions that we can all agree are wrong.

"Human life begins at conception. However, one is not "a fully functioning human being" at conception." Looks like we should be able to kill anyone who isn't fully functioning. Another "conservative" tenet.

A zygote ISN'T obviously humanIrrelevant. No woman has ever given birth to anything besides a human. It's looks are irrelevant.
