You're absolutely right about the abortion debate; the entire pro-life argument makes sense only if you deny that "life begins at conception". But I don't believe I've ever heard the pro-choice camp attack that axiom; instead, it's always about the mother having control over her body, which just ignores the pro-life axiom. (If life begins at conception, then abortion is not about the mother's body, it's about the pre-born's body.) No wonder the two sides don't communicate.
