Ok, how about this. If you feel a fetus is not a child, fine, but along with that goes some negative things. For example….if you are pregnant and hit by a drunk driver and you get a case of whiplash, but for some reason your pregnancy is terminated in the crash…don’t go trying to sue for killing your baby…all you should do is sue for the driver to pay for your doctor bills for whiplash.
If you are pregnant and have a miscarriage, don’t expect to spend the next week moping around the house crying about your lost baby…get your butt back to work, it’s no big deal, you don’t get special rights because you ejected some cells from your body.
If you are carrying a lump of cells, don’t expect special treatment at work. Your belief that it’s not a child until it’s born, along side your fight for equality means that, if you are carrying a lump of cells inside you, don’t miss any work…figure out how to deal with your medical issue in your own time, or take no paid time off, like everyone else.
so yeah, if you don’t think you are carrying a baby, then don’t expect any special treatment. You can’t have it both ways.
