"What about the sperm that is just about to penetrate the egg to fertilize it? Naturally, it's about to become a zygote, and eventually, a person. Can I kill the sperm at that point?"
No. At least not if you believe you shouldn't kill non cognizant embyos.

To the contrary. In fact, the Catholic Church teaches pretty much this same idea.
