I'd qualify it a bit more for myself.
A single cell (to me anyway) clearly isn't human. There's no brain, no nervous system, no mechanism for it to suffer, for it to be aware of itself. I have no problem with the morning after pill.
On the other extreme, the day before a baby is born, it has all these things. I'd have a problem with an abortion the day before it's born.
So somewhere in the middle there's a line to be drawn, by some kind of criteria. Where that line goes and by what criteria is the heart of the matter IMO.
