Not out of their minds, but allowing superstition to overrule the
rational part of their minds.  If I did believe in God, then I would
believe that He gave us our brains with the expectation that we
exercise them occasionally, which the life begins at conception
proponents show no sign of doing.

Rather obviously, life begins before conception, as neither the egg
nor the sperm are dead.  But the superstitious give the word "life" in
this context another, special meaning that more often than not can be
reduced to a belief in ensoulment.

So the question almost invariably becomes a superstitious one, wherein
the believer has discarded their reason and/or knowledge in favor of
magic.

Believing in magic is certainly akin to being out of one's mind, even
if it is not unarguably the same thing.
