This depends on your definition of "potential being". It's a "potential being" while your talking in a bar. It's a "potential being" while your making out at the park. I think it is a "potential being" right up untill the sperm joins the egg.

I don't see where giving a fetus a reasonal right to life is a problem, and you have to know that there is a double-standard in place..

But he would be charged with two counts of murder.
