“Pro-life, not pro-person”
Well, can’t argue with that, really. Fetuses are clearly living. But: most living things in the world don’t receive the same legal protections as people. The question is: When does a fetus attain rights of its own?
1. Some here would say: the moment egg touches sperm.
2. Some would say: at the moment of “viability” at about the 3rd trimester.
3. Others would say: not until the fetus is born.
And still others would draw the line somewhere else: like first fetal heartbeat, or first evidence of fetal mental functions.
I’m somewhere between 2 and 3 myself, which matches what Roe v. Wade says.
But I think position 1 — i.e. taking a Plan B pill four hours after sex makes you a murderer — is quite overzealous.
And not even possible to prove, really, since it’s hard to even know you’re pregnant until 4-6 weeks in.
