"At conception? Should the day-after pill be illegal?"

Yes. Yes. Refer to the GOP Platform or, if you are Catholic, the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church.

So you would outlaw in vitro fertilization for couples that have a hard time getting pregnant, or advance fertilization for couples undergoing cancer therapy that might want to have children in the future?

The position you take is much farther than overturning Roe v. Wade.

It means that an IUD is murder. And the day-after pill is murder. Right?

The said thing is that at this moment in time this is rather a moot issue that we should probably not fight about but rather go after the 2nd trimester abortions. Once those are taken care of or at least that process is started we can argue about morning after pills.

Morning after pills is a really sticky issue, because they are used heavily to treat rape victims, it's the first thing they hand you after the examination. The argument that a rape victim doesn't have the right to prevent the zygote from attaching itself to the uterine wall is going to be hard one to win. Which means that it will be possible for pretty much anyone to obtain the pill.

In fact, you won't catch me telling that to a rape victim. For the most part using rape victims in relation to the need for abortions is a straw man argument, but this is the one case where it is probably not.
