You are correct. That is the essential question. And once you start trying to define it for yourself, things get difficult.

While the initial spark at conception may not produce a breathing human, I think we know that a life has begun. As (true) science has progressed we know that the baby's heart is functioning somewhere between 15-18 weeks. At that point, I think no rational person could argue that taking that life is murder. I'm glad it's up to each state to make that call.
