Whereas here you make a distinct and non-contradictory point to appeal to those who don't see the moral preciousness of the fertilized egg.

Yes, I was trying to point out that the denial of personhood at ANY stage is a moral compromise and leads to genocide. It is my view that pro-abort people are generally more numb to embryo arguments as compared with 6-month unborn fetus arguments because abortion was sold to the American people on the basis that the unborn AT ANY STAGE are not human beings. So, if a person can't be convinced that the being is human at 6 months (when the appearance is human!), trying to convince them that an embryo is a human being is a hopeless task. Most people are thoroughly grounded in moral relativism and have been desensitized to the mass murder occurring all around them (just as the german people were in WWII). Deception is powerful in that the decieved do not know they are deceived.
