@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.
@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.
@MrAboo That looks like more than 10 weeks. Just saying.

People who want to ban abortion should get educated on the reasons people end up terminating a pregnancy before calling it murder.

@SW-User Can't agree more. I privately am against abortion (of my own child, mind you) but never in my wild party stupor would I dream of denying the service. Personally, I would endorse abortion restrictions after the formation of the nervous system.
I've used to think State laws like this were a waste of tax payer money, but with this Court, maybe not. We'll see what "settled precedent" means soon enough.
