Well, I suppose I'll go ahead and share my views on your views, in that case...

It's difficult to be consistent with this point of view. What about life that is created without conception, or identical twins, when do their lives start?

If kept in the proper environment, and cared for appropriately, an embryo after conception has the
potential to develop into a human being. The exact same statement can be made of a human egg, before fertilization. If kept in the proper environment, and cared for appropriately, a human egg has the potential to develop into a human being.

People don't favour abortion, they favour the right of a woman to choose what she wants to do with her body.

No, but most people have brain activity. Tapeworms have more neural activity than embryos do before a certain point.

A good reason to advocate other methods of birth control.

People create skin cells all the time, do skin cells deserve care and sanctity as well?

It is too much to force a woman to carry what is effectively a parasite in her body against her will.

Good thing abortion is legal in the developed world, and women who get them aren't going to prison.

People, yes, however, fetuses are not people. Similar to how an egg isn't a chicken.

Crimes against humanity are defined as attacks against civilian populations. Fetuses are not part of any civilian population.

Right, because clearly North America, Europe and Asia are all on the brink of destruction when compared Africa, South America and the Middle East.
