So you narrow it down to an issue of when a child is considered...a child
Point of conciousnes, in a few years this will be defineable, problem solved. Only people i've heard saying sperm meeets egg stage are the militant nutters so voila, problem solved.

As for "enforcing my moral code" on others, to a great extent, that's what ALL laws do. Most people agree that it's wrong to steal and therefore theft is illegal. Now, an argument against that would be "well, you're protecting another human being's rights!" Well, that's what pro-lifers think they're doing.

Not so much "rights" which are and abstract and relative thing anyway but standards. If i break into your house nad steal your tv, you lsoe something. If i have an abortion (which is unlikely for obvious reasons), you lose nothing, thats why i'd say one is about morality and one is not. Therefore they are simply trying to put their moral strictures on other people - it is in reality, not their affair. If it was for example, right to freely copy IP then it ouwld be on hte basis they no doubt hold rihgts to some IP or something with IP, such as a CD. BUt they have no claim in any way at any part of someones elses pregnancy.
