So if a fertilized egg is a human baby as much as a 1y baby-- then there are a bunch of things that would be the same as an abortion, right?
I mean the egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube and migrates to the uterus where it attaches.
Would preventing a fertilized egg to attach be killing a baby?
Like with birth control pills?
What if one changed one's pH or body temperature and fertilized egg failed to attach-- would that be homicide?
Or what if a woman ran a marathon?
Or used a pharmaceutical? Not the morning after pill?
Are all those homicide like killing a 1y baby?
So who are the panty and fallopian tube police going to be?

@CopperCicada Behaviours that cause unintentional abortion could, under this idea, be considered manslaughter. Can you imagine the number of people who could potentially be charged if doctors were forced to give up information on spontaneous abortions?
My other concern is that it could lead to limiting access to appropriate birth control.

@Bushranger Both concerns I have. It would impact birth control for sure.

@CopperCicada Let alone a woman's right to choice what to do with her body. Just another thought, would vasectomies be included in crimes against fetuses?

@MrAboo That's where you have to... draw a line and decide what your values are, I suppose. What does it mean to be a person? Is it having DNA? Is it having a spine, skin, and a nose? Personally, I believe that it's our experience, our thoughts, our feelings that make us people. And it's cool for you to disagree with that; morality is subjective and all. But it doesn't really make sense to judge based on what things "look like" because appearances often decieve.
Is a sentient AI with no body, but full awareness of his own surroundings and a fear of death a person? There's not necessarily a right or wrong answer, but answering that question can lead you closer to an epiphany on the subject at hand.

@SW-User I'm similar. I don't personally like it, but I don't think it should be outlawed.
