You and I simply disagree. I disagree that the only way to characterize a human as a human is the development of conscious thought. I would characterize a human as the fusing of two human gametes (sperm and oocyte) to create an entirely new human. Also, I do not see how banning abortion is the same as banning a person from talking a friend out of getting pregnant. You cannot punish someone from stopping the development of something that does not even exist. That would make no sense. An embryo, on the other hand, exists and will continue to develop as a human unless someone takes an action preventing it from doing so.
