What I wrote at the New York Times about Christian assholes.

"Those who oppose abortion usually begin by stipulating that since the embryo is an unborn child, abortion is morally equivalent to murder. But for those who accept abortion, this initial stipulation is exactly what is problematic; from their point of view, the embryo has the capacity to become a child but it is not a child yet, and therefore belongs to a very different moral category."

Who is right about this is not important. What's important is the Christians (and the government) should mind their own business.

If Christians oppose abortion then they shouldn't get an abortion. They have no right to force everyone else to obey their religious rules.
