In this world, your body, is certainly part of you and that body began at conception.
Doesn't have to be ensoulment, but the mere fact that at conception, we begin. It is us at that moment, and will develop into adult humans, as time goes on.
I agree and unless the pro-life movement understands this instead of trying to outlaw all abortions anytime, not much will change.

It depends on what we define as us. Am I my body? Am I my mind? Am I both? What makes me "me"?

Yeah. If someone defines a person as a being with a human soul, then ensoulment becomes an issue and one that can't be argued before a court.

I think the best bet anybody has is to limit abortions. I just don't see it ever reaching the point where it can be eliminated from the country.
