The only difference is these two.components are joined in pregnancy. I am sorry but most abortiom happened quite early so it is just as immoral as killing a clumps of unconcious cells. this pregnancy is part of the women who are carrying it so it is invasive and a violation of their personal rights if you insist on thinking you can somehow make it illegal for them to choose what is best for them.
Sperm contains the DNA of the male; they are his cells, they are his life. The egg contains the DNA of the female, it is her cell, it is her life.
Our entire bodies are made up of unconscious cells, so unless you can point me to a single cell in our body that has consciousness, your argument falls apart completely. Unless you are in favour of pardoning all murderers, since all they ever did was kill a bunch of unconscious cells, and therefore did nothing morally wrong.
In the case of abortion, what is best for them, and what is best for the baby come into conflict, hence my opposition.
