Not so much "rights" which are and abstract and relative thing anyway but standards. If i break into your house nad steal your tv, you lsoe something. If i have an abortion (which is unlikely for obvious reasons), you lose nothing, thats why i'd say one is about morality and one is not.

Missing the point. If you break into someone else's house and steal something from them, I lose nothing. Only in the rare case where I am the victim do I lose something.
Even if I knew I would never be the victim, I still think theft should be illegal. So, it's not the fact that I feel
I may be hurt that makes me put "my moral standards" on other people for theft. For me, it is a question of decent human rights.
Again, I am not stating a belief on this (since I don't have one), the people who are protecting this believe that they are protecting a human life, just the same as if someone were to kill their 5 year old child.
As for the "type of people" who say that life begins at conception, I contend that you call them crazy (or whatever it is that you called them) simply because you don't agree with them.
Unfortunately there is NO scientific evidence on this and no
objective way to judge it one way or the other. It's all a matter of opinion.
And, in a question of basic rights vs. human life, both sides will tend to get heated.
