Well there is kind of a group like that, it’s called going Galt.
Yes, I read the article and saw that the author provided one interpretation of a pro-life definition of when life begins. The author did not seem to share that interpretation. It is not necessary to share that interpretation to be pro-life. Since my experience in medical research has given me the opportunity to observe countless millions of living human organisms that are not human beings first hand, my interpretation of what is a human being does not incorporate conception. Since we all experience the world through the processing of information in our brains, I think that the presence of a brain is crucial to the definition of a human being. Although brain cells only start forming about 3 weeks after conception, I think that using the definition of pregnancy--the implantation of the blastocyst--provides a perfectly good start point for granting legal protection to the embryo.
