Defining the moment of conception is the semantic excuse of lawyers and legislators. If this type of talk is to your taste, here's some objective ammunition for you:
Fertilization (biological term for conception) can be internal or external, depending on the species. Whether internal or external, it results in the fusion of gametes and completes the DNA code to generate an embryo for a living organism:

For me, the naked truth is this: An abortionist is someone who does not want to bear the consequences of an act that is voluntary 98% of the time, and wants instead to impute that responsibility on the product of his sexual encounter. It is less important to understand the exact moment of conception when you realise that 1 unborn innocent pays with his/her life for the irresponsible conduct of 2 adults.
I don't own the truth, but I do borrow it from time to time! Here you are invited to duel in words and to provide contestation to my reflections.
The Deep Thinker
Deepthinker's Wisdoms
I. All one does has consequences; take responsibility for your actions and seek good consequences. II. All that is good for you isn't necessarily good for everyone, but all that is good for everyone is also good for you. III. Good begets good. If you desire good things, than practice good things onto others. IV. Happiness isn't a birthright, but an objective to be achieved through wisdom and hard work. V. Having something isn't as important as being someone, for no one can take away what you are. VI. Be truthful to yourself, and as a consequence never be false to others. VII. Every lie begets another. VIII. Never exchange the eternal for the ephemeral and never choose lust over love. IX. Honour and character are gifts a man gives himself, so that they are left as an enduring heritage to his offspring. X. It is better to be hated for your honest views than to be false. XI. No matter the pressure, ultimately the decision is always yours. XII. Greed is the greatest evil of our day. It is in greed's name that all of mankind's atrocities are perpetrated and it is in greed that all enduring harm begins. XIII. When the law is written by the unworthy, Legality isn't congruent with Morality. XIV. Don't ever be ashamed to serve. Contrary to popular belief, humble service onto others is what dignifies a man. XV. The Catholic Church isn't a franchise, my religion isn't a product and the Pope is not God's ombudsman.
