It's more of the practical issue of legislating around the exact moment of conception. A court would have to prove that a woman had conceived and taken steps to end the pregnancy. A huge % of fertilized eggs fail to develop on their own (estimated to be half). It's going to be exceedingly difficult to enforce laws that apply at a moment that is not easily observable and during which "life" is already very fragile. We simply don't have the tools to do that effectively.
