The major problem with that is that it's a political statement, rather than a scientific one.
No scientifically there is actually life at conception. (Heck, there is even life before conception as sperm is living). The tough part is whether the under-developed life in the womb is considered human or less than human. And at what time period do we decide it is fully human.

And certainly not a medical one
How far into pregnancy is it considered human? (I don't have a side with the abortion debate btw)
