The issue here is that this belief is not based in reality. A fertilized egg is not a human.

- brigandish 4y agoPlease don't quibble, it's not worth anyone's time, yours as much as anyone's. I'd like you to explain the personhood and citizenry rights of the non-living. Regardless, from section 1 of the 14th amendment[1]: > nor shall any state deprive any person of life, Did you not think to check it first?

- Jason_Protell 4y agoI've entertained this discussion in good faith, yet now you're belittling my diction and accusing me of wasting time. I'm done here. Have a nice day.
- dpbriggs 4y agoAre you willfully misrepresenting other arguments? There's a curious pattern in these threads of you ducking out of conversations when nuance is attempted. The remainder of the reasonable discussion around this topic is centered around the blurry point between inception and when viable birth is possible. The vast majority of people would classify a fetus, minutes before birth, being aborted as murder. As well, in most countries restrictions occur at some point in the pregnancy (recognition of the trade-off between bodily autonomy and the rights of the unborn). In my country that happens to be nine weeks unless there's an emergency.
