[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole sacred talk is awash in religion and we are not a theocracy. My religion does not teach that a fertilized egg is sacred, so keep your laws off my body. [/quote]

You know perfectly well that many abortions occur when the developing child is far more than a fertilized egg. Your terminology makes it easier for women to  view babies as disposable and abort them.[/quote]

I've had a fetus expelled from my body and it was not a baby.

And you know very well that there are plenty of right-wing fanatics out there who want to ban abortion from the point of conception. Never mind that most conceptions don't even make it to birth because human reproduction is extremely inefficient.[/quote]

Let's all agree that human life begins at conception. Let's stipulate to that fact and move on.

And let's get to the real issue here: Control. Who gets to control women's health? Is it the state? Is it the woman?

And let's also talk about equal protection. Women are certainly treated differently than men when that male sperm mates with a woman's egg, aren't they? Why is that? If women have to endure pregnancy, then men who impregnate them must endure something similar. What's it gonna be? Imprison the men for nine months while the woman is pregnant with their child? Women and men deserve equal treatment and equal protection under the law. That's in the constitution. [/quote]

What an ignorant post.  There is enorrmous and intense disagreement about your very first statement.   [/quote]
NP.  Not really.  Human, Homo sapiens, life begins at the moment of conception.  That’s not the debate and immaterial.  Rather, it’s whether a person can be forced to maintain a pregnancy in their body against their will and subjected to forced birth.  Keep up.[/quote]

Uh no. That isn’t what most people consider intelligent life. I think people disagree that “personhood” starts at conception.  I don’t believe the rights of personhood attach until birth.  The state may have an interest in promoting birth, and that’s fine, but that’s why we had Roe.   Anyway, this debate is stupid and irrelevant to the holding that the court may adopt in Hobbs.  It goes far beyond weighing the states’ interests in protecting unborn children, and erases fundamental rights for pregnant women.  You keep up.[/quote]

Yes. “Life” is a stupid term pushed by RWNJs.

The debate is about “personhood”.

A fertilized egg is not a person.
