The moment when the egg becomes fertilised is not in any sense arbitrary. It is the time when two separate human substances actually form a distinct, complete human life.

Do you want to outlaw abortion from the point of conception? Then we'd have to outlaw many forms of contraception, too, as some are suspected as abortifacients. Is that what you think we should do?

There is a distinct difference in stating one's beliefs regarding individual human life and agreeing to some point in gestational life beyond which abortion should be illegal except to save the life of the mother. The former is a statement of heartfelt belief, the latter is a pragmatic compromise in order to save as many as we can, many who will be slaughtered by legalized serial killers if compromise isn't accepted.
