This logic is plainly wrong. By this logic, the moment a sperm cell enters an egg cell, killing that one single cell that's smaller that's smaller than the eye can see should be criminal. See that future mom over there that accidentally tripped and fell? Well guess what, the single-cell egg died. Lock her the forget up for manslaughter.
So at what stage of development do we get to arbitrarily decide when a Human has the right to life? Because from the moment of conception, that fertilized egg has a full set of DNA and is genetically Human. The only difference between you and them is that they are not as developed as you are, but they will most likely be one day.

That's not an exaggeration, that's the scary thing. If killing an egg cell is legally murder, then accidentally causing it to die is the legal definition of manslaughter.
That's an invalid comparison. If the driver accidentally hits the gas pedal and hits a pedestrian which kills them, they are charged with manslaughter.
Governments get to decide what is and isn't a crime, but that does not dictate whether or not it is morally right or wrong. If they did get to legislate morality, then why was what national socialist Germany did to the Jews wrong?
An embryo is about as valuable as the 300-400 eggs that the female body naturally ejects over the course of her life lol.
This is a completely arbitrary statement you've made up. So if we get to decide how valuable another human's life is based on our own whim, why is it wrong for people to kill or hurt you?
YThere isn't even a natural guarantee that a fertilized egg will make it all the way to birth, survive birth, and have a decent life.
There isn't a guarantee that you won't die tomorrow, so why is it wrong for us to kill you today?
As a matter of fact we can see that aborted babies are mostly from burdened and vulnerable low-income communities. What you're saying is that the "potential" for life is more valuable than a human's ability to chose what happens to her own body. You'd willingly hamper/ruin an already established life with a massive financial burden because you believe a glorified ovum has the same value as a person who's already been alive for a long time.
Which has more value and dignity and worth - a human life, or money?
