IMHO every argument of that "life" starts at a speciffic moment is either going down as absurd or hypocritical, making a pragmatic solution recommendable.

But anyway, what do you consider happening with the souls lost by an abotion, miscarriage or simular? Reborn? Condemn to hell, heaven, asphodel fields or whatever?

Would you disallow contrampments that doesn't allow the fertilized egg to attach to the uterus?

What's your opinion on that the natural rates of spontanous abortions (that according to wiki is about 25% of all pregnacies and considering the uncertaincy to determine the really early ones it's probably higher, and I doubt they even can count the ones that fail because the fertilized egg doesn't attach)? This one is really evil from the "a fertilized egg should have the same rights as a grown human" position.

Well uhm bit of a side track there.
TuffStuffMcGruff what do you suppose will happen if abortion is a state right and banned in pushed in state A, while allowed in state B, when a person travels to state B to get it done? No punishment? Extradiction (well according to some (all?) pro-lifers it's equal to murder)?
