It is true that > biology is a bit murkey...but I'd argue that, between the two arbitrary lines, a more consistent arguement could be made for conception than birth. And, if you agree that persons do not exist for as long as there can be twinning, then one allows things like morning after pills, but not abortions performed after a woman knows she is pregnant. In short, the standards of the left look even more arbitrary than the standards of the right do to me.
