> Are women carrying partial people in their eggs? Yes. > If most fertilized eggs naturally fail to implant then should we monitor urine and arrange funerals

> Are women carrying partial people in their eggs? Yes. > If most fertilized eggs naturally fail to implant then should we monitor urine and arrange funerals for those lost? Weird strawman.

Not that weird of a strawman: > According to the Metro, several states have prosecuted women for miscarriages or stillbirths. They include South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas, Texas, California, Mississippi, and Ohio. It appears West Virginia has joined the ranks as well. > Though California has since passed laws banning criminal charges and investigations of pregnancy loss, it previously jailed two women for stillbirths. Also: > Raleigh County Prosecuting Attorney Tom Truman told WVNS 59News that a number of criminal charges under state code, including felonies, could be levied against a woman who flushes fetal remains, buries them, or otherwise disposes of remains following an involuntary abortion, also called a miscarriage. We've established arbitrary lines on when the embryo progresses to the point of having a legally mandated funeral in some parts of the US. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/new-law-in-us-state-could-lead-to-prosecution-of-women-after-miscarriage-8593102 https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/new-law-in-us-state-could-le...

> Weird strawman Comparing abortions to harvesting organs from cloned humans? I agree, definitely a weird strawman.

  "monitor urine for unimplanted eggs" Not how that works.

    Monitor urine for signs of viable pregnancy, obviously.

      Rhetorically, I'm not willing to grant so-called "obvious" corrections automatically. Rather, obvious mistakes indicate an incorrect argument. People can just say what they mean.

        That’s not a correction. You misinterpreted the comment and decided it was patently wrong. With mistakes this obvious, maybe your argument is the one that’s incorrect?
