This is an unpopular view among my fellow liberals but think twice before assuming a pro-lifer is anti female sexual freedom. They may be but there is also an intuitive objection to abortion which is on the very liberal care/harm foundation. Note I said 'intuitive', not rational.
I'd have to give thought to it and this would require thinking around the problem which would include the ethics of letting eggs and sperm die. I have not yet given thought to it.

Please do, but I'd say the ethics of leaving sperm or eggs around to die is immaterial. As are questions on contraception, abstinence and the like. It's better to narrow it down to conception. Two things coming together to make something new and unique is the proper dividing spot
-
That's what needs proving with rational argument first. Why? Is it just the cognitive bias that tells us that failing to make something is better than stopping something that has started even tho the consequences are the same for the potential person? Not sure that's good enough
-
Here's my problem with you saying pro-life people are irrational. Does human life begin at conception? It's certainly a rational, logical, philosophically, and altogether scientifically sound concept. For sake of argument: Human life begins at conception. Now what?
-
Argue it.Provide a rational argument for that being the point at which the potential person has the right to be born.
