The morning after pill simply prevents the release of an egg or the implantation of an embryo. Not quite the same as getting one's hands bloody.

You're forgetting that some people believe that human life begins the instant the sperm cell hits the egg cell.

Personally I prefer to reserve personhood to an entity that has a chance of brain function (ie, neural tissue in the fetus, about 40 days after implantation).

I didn't forget it. I just don't believe it. I'm with you actually, in that I believe in order to be "human" one must have some sort of real brain function.
