When you find yourself in a hole, first step: stop digging.

Not that you need a citation, because unless you're INSANELY stupid, you've heard that argument at least 100 times, but just so you can't try to weakly declare victory:

I. INTRODUCTION The right to life is a fundamental human right, central to the enjoyment of all other human rights. International human rights law recognizes this basic right as accruing at birth, and international and regional human rights bodies, as well as courts worldwide, have clearly established that any prenatal protections must be consistent with women’s human rights. An emerging trend to extend a right to life before birth, and in particular from conception, poses a significant threat to women’s human rights, in theory and in practice. These efforts, often rooted in ideological and religious motivations, are part of a deliberate attempt to deny women the full range of reproductive health services that are essential to safeguarding women’s fundamental rights to life, health, dignity, equality, and autonomy, among others. These attempts to grant a right to life before birth—and therefore recognize prenatal legal personhood—seek to bestow rights on a zygote, embryo, or fetus that would be equal or superior to the rights of women. In many cases, these measures aim to outlaw any procedure that terminates a pregnancy. In other cases, these attempts have sought to justify restrictions on access to in vitro fertilization and contraception. Across the board, these strategies attempt to deny women the ability to make autonomous decisions regarding their fertility with complete disregard for women’s basic human rights. WHERE NATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORKS PROTECT LIFE BEFORE BIRTH Several countries have adopted various legal frameworks for protecting life before birth: - Explicit recognition of a constitutional right to life before birth, as in the national constitutions of Guatemala and Chile.1 - Constitutional protections that confer equal protection for the life of both the pregnant woman and the “unborn,” as in the national constitutions of Ireland and the Philippines.2 - Legislation establishing that the right to life is subject to protection prenatally, as Poland has done. 3 The strategy of promoting the recognition of a right to life before birth has emerged in the context of constitutional reform processes, legislative initiatives, and court challenges that seek to extend constitutional protections of the right to life prenatally.

No where in that wall of words does it say that abortion should be legal because fetuses/embryos/zygotes aren't alive.

The "right to life" that they're claiming is granted at birth is the right to remain alive. Pro-abortionists don't think that the fetus is an inanimate object prior to passing through the birth canal, and you're a fricking retard for thinking that they do.

so they admit it is a life (and by extension a human life) that they are killing?
