A one-celled zygote is a unique individual, the start of a new life, but most people probably wouldn't consider it the same as a baby.

Every single human being on the face of the planet was once at that stage. And your rights are not superior to any human being who is currently at that stage.

EV: “...your rights are not superior to any human being who is currently at that stage.”

Even if I agree with you, the majority do not. That’s the point I was trying to make. Most people simply don’t consider the pill to be a murder weapon. Again, what you or I believe is politically irrelevant if we cannot convince a majority of voters to agree. In the case of abortion, I’d rather save most unborn babies (by enacting reasonable restrictions supported by political majorities) than stand on moral principle and save none.
