As for how I'd answer the question about when a baby gets human rights, I'd say at birth. If you agree with McCain that a zygote should have human rights, should the woman and/or doctor who terminate the pregnancy be charged with first-degree murder?

Depends what the law is, right? If abortion is illegal then yes. My appeal is to a middle ground and simply end federal funding for abortion. It would satisfy me that I am not paying for the murder of zygotes. Now whenever I go past a clinic my conscience is bothered. Let the States that want to fund abortion do it. You would have a big red/blue shift and everyone would be happy.
Why say zygote when you can say blastomere? "I did the pregnancy test dear... I'm with zygote" just doesn't sound right.
I think both answered the gay marriage thing the same.
