So if a woman takes a birth control pill, knowing that it will end the 
life of her fertilized egg, she is committing premeditated murder.  What 
do you think is the appropriate punishment? -- Life in prison or 
execution?  Then we'll have to prosecute the accomplices - the corporate 
criminals who produce the pills that are useful for only one purpose: 
murdering fertilized eggs.

I haven't heard any disagreement about that, except in the case where the 
mother is in danger or the fetus is seriously ill.  Of course, there are 
many anti-abortion advocates who will claim that it is better to let both 
mother and child die than to abort the fetus.  I disagree with them.
