Without divulging my own opinion, there is one element I'd like to note...
The zygote, and the fetus that develops from it, are most certainly human. In the abortion debate both sides are trying to win the argument semantically, and I wish this would stop. The cells of the zygote have the right number of chromosomes and human DNA, and that makes it human.
Of course, so are a lot of cells - including many that we remove surgically for any number of reasons.
The debate is not whether it's human, but whether it's a person. Human cells don't have rights; people have rights.
That is all, we now return to your regularly-scheduled debate.
