You have raised some very interesting points. However, i would submit that "potential" does not necessarily mean that killing it is murder. For example, extreme as it may be, if i stab a non-pregnant woman in the stomach, and destroy her ovaries, i have destroyed hundreds of thousands of potential human beings. The reason that I will not be prosecuted for those murders is because even though the egg cells I have killed are potential human beings, they do not have the capacity to suffer, nor to understand the future they are being denied. we consider those cells to be life, but not human life, because they lack these abilities. That is when life starts, at the moment that the being can suffer the way that a human suffers. This is the shining line that abortions should be legal before but not after.
