McCain and that "moment of conception"

So we've reported here before about Cindy McCain's painkiller abuse and the possibility that her reckless behavior let to her tradgically having several miscarriages. John McCain opened up the door on this issue during the Saddleback Church Forum when he clearly stated when asked that he thought life and human rights began at conception:

WARREN: At what point is a baby entitled to human rights?

MCCAIN: At the moment of conception.

Of course the evangelical pro-life crowd cheered his response but there were no follow up questions. No clearification of how McCain would shape his policy around his declaration of "At the moment of conception" Does this mean that at the moment of conception a couple can claim that life as a dependant on their taxes? Or a woman can demand from her partner child support? Should it be illegal for a woman while pregnant to smoke or drink because it infrginges on the rights of the fetus? Does this mean that every miscarriage a woman has should be investigate as a criminal act as a potential manslaughter?

McCain's statement makes for a nice empty pander to the pro-life crowd. This is easily proven by McCain's voting record. If John McCain believes that a baby is entitled to human rights from the moment of conception, why does he support and vote for the funding of embryonic stem cell research?

Measure Title: A bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for human embryonic stem cell research.
