A person meaning entitled to the protections of the law. That's still going on as a legal argument. When does abortion become infanticide?
A blastocyst has no mental state, period.
An infant is not a teenager. It will develop into one. A teenager is not an adult. It will develop into one. All are stages of growth.
When its a person defined by law
Because they are not in any stage of development.
This is a legal position not a biological fact.
It's still a human being classed as homo Sabian.
Correct thats the only way to do it. We have to define when a fetus is person with rights. Tge entire issue is a legal question
Aren't you pushing for laws that suppress reproductive freedom when you falsely claim that a microscopic, mindless mass of cells is a person?
Never. Infanticide involves the mother killing her infant (up to a year) after birth. If in rare circumstances an infant is born alive as the result of an attempted abortion, it would be murder if the Doctor or nurse killed the infant after a live birth.
I havent made those points. My point is abortion should be legal and we need guidelines. A time for abortion for any reason defined by the mother who owns the fetus as her property. 16 weeks works for me. Then a specific set of circumstances.
There are those who feel that post birth abortion should be legal until the child is self aware. To some it's two years old. Others would allow it until five years old.Never. Infanticide involves the mother killing her infant (up to a year) after birth. If in rare circumstances an infant is born alive as the result of an attempted abortion, it would be murder if the Doctor or nurse killed the infant after a live birth.

Roe was simply bad law.
According to the religious zealots that were focused on taking it down for over 50 years they got six Catholics on the Supreme Court who lied when they were approved in the Senate that they respected precedent . So we have six Catholic liars on the Supreme Court saying it was bad law I smell a rat
What does any of that have to do with human life beginning at conception?
Again, you are confusing legal opinion with scientific and biological fact. Nothing you have said removes humanity from the unborn human. No argument makes it into something else. It's now about rights. That a woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy is unquestionable. That right does not change the biological fact that the fetus is a human being.
Human life does begin a conception. I have never taken any exception to that. I’m pointing out that conception is a private matter going on inside of a human beings body who has certain rights to privacy. The government has no cause to interfere with a woman’s decision as to what she will do with her pregnancy because whichever decision she makes is no different than if she has a miscarriage, which is tragic for most women that have it.
It already has it's Dna
