[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, if we think logically about the consequences...since nearly half of fertilized eggs are spontaneously aborted, most before the woman knows she is pregnant, then every menstrual flow will have to be collected and analyzed to see if it contains a "person."  And if it does, then there will have to be a coroner's investigation, a determination of whether the woman did anything that contributed to the expulsion of the fertilized egg, etc.   Would it help if we broadcast this scenario?[/quote]

Good point.[/quote]

This was a major point of contention with the Personhood movement in MS as well.  If a woman miscarries, is she subject to investigation?  When a medical claim with a diagnosis code related to miscarriage is submitted, is this information handed over to authorities?  What if she took ibuprofen that subsequently thinned her blood and she miscarried?  What if she was unknowingly pregnant and had alcohol?  The possibilities really are endless.

I don't see this passing in any way but the fact that the Personhood movement is in VA and the fact that elected officials have humored it to this point greatly disturbs me.  [/quote]
