re: For those who are pro choice: At what point do you feel a fetus becomes a human being?

Not if it is taken the next day without knowledge of whether or not there is a life within the womb. If there is a life and it’s known prior, then it is murder. Pure and simple.
The intent of "Plan B" pills is for the woman who wakes the next morning and realizes "Oh, shite, I let him ride bareback last night," and can pop a pill to be sure that said ride does not result in implantation of a fertilized ovum.
And THIS is where abortion opponents who do NOT oppose Plan B run into philosophical problems. Their arguments uniformly rely (at least in part) on the premise that the zygote/blastocyst/embryo/fetus is a "genetically distinct human life." The same is true of the zygote/blastocyst that is created during unprotected sex and whose cells are rapidly dividing and growing, but that will "die" when it is precluded from implanting in the uterine wall.
If the concept of a "genetically distinct human life" is a part of one's arsenal of arguments, failure to oppose Plan B is ENTIRELY inconsistent with opposition to later-term pregnancy termination by other means.

I agree mostly...but it is easier to rationalize that there is probably not a fertilized egg to prevent from attaching. what are the odds?
