This is scientifically debateable. My favorite passage on the scientific thoughts about when human life actually "begins" is from Carl Sagan. I don't have the book on hand or I would quote it.
You can debate that the early embryonic stages up to some particular event (say, brain development) are not much different from any other organ in a person's body.
We're free to destroy our own livers (drinking) or lungs (smoking). After all, it is "my body" and if I'm an adult in the eyes of the state and understand the consequences then I have "right" to drink until my liver fails.
However, for me, or any other guy, this debate is merely intellectual at best. It is easy for men to make decrees on abortion because they will never actually experience such a scenario first hand. That's the main reason I personally support "pro-choice", just because I truly believe it is not for any man to decide (not the President, not any male member of Congress).
