(Eggs and sperm on their own don't begin a human life.) I mean that conception is when human life begins. When human life becomes viable and becomes a "person" is a different thing.

This is a conceptual thing. Intuitive. I share it. It's not rational.

There is no real reason to put the starting point at conception rather than five minutes earlier. It comes from the intuition that stopping a thing is worse than never starting a thing. For the potential person who never knows they are alive, there is no difference.

Yes. This is why the mother has the choice. I could not have an abortion because I feel it like that. I can support friends through one because I know the consequential reasoning on behalf of the potential person.
