I wonder if people who are pro-life, claiming that a baby is a human-being somewhere before birth, probably when the heart starts beating, measure their own legal age counting from birth like the rest of us?

Well, we celebrate a BIRTHday, not a LIFEday. I do celebrate the day of my daughter's conception. FWIW, my wife knew within hours of conception that she had a new life inside her. She could feel it. YMMV.

And I wonder if when they fill out a US Census report, they count in-womb "babies" as well? And do they deduct them on their tax records?

No, as both would be against the law.
