Bingo has completely lost me.

 this^  A thousand times over.

Thus speaks the man who failed to get a reference to a Star Wars film on a Star Wars site. Oh and I am on ignore. You can't contextualise my comments even if you had the capacity to do so.

It's pretty simple really, I don't see human beings as particularly important in relation to other animal forms so when I see something as simple as a Zygote I respond to it in the same way I do other simple things like Plankton.

When I see something as simple as an early term fetus I respond to it in relation to other creatures as complex. I see chickens as being as intelligent and worthy of life as a human toddler. I don't eat either of them.

I understand that to some people this seems odd but to me defending the rights of a blob of cells while slaughtering and eating pigs and cows is beyond weird.

Killing both is consistent, killing neither is consistent but to kill one and not the other is a dangerous paradox.
