Inconsistancy in the “life begins at conception” argument

Over at Human Enhancement and Biopolitics they try to introduce the anti-choice crowd to reality.

The view that human life begins at conception is a favoured view of most of the pro-life camp. By it, they do not mean that the sperm and ova were not alive and only became so at conception, but rather that ‘human life’ - in the special sense of a person who deserves protection under the law - begins at conception. Unfortunately for them, this view is logically inconsistent with that pesky thing called reality.
