So if we perceive a fetus as a person, self defense laws and stand your ground laws should apply right?

Like, if the threat is persistent and reasonably considered to be causing bodily harm, then reasonable escalating force, up to lethal, should be legal correct? Intent and innocence of the perps intentions does not absolve them in court of law... So if we consider the fetus a person and they are causing harm without stopping when prompted the mother should be legally afforded to defend herself, no?

So I can drive in the HOV lane, I can't be mass arrested, and attempted murder against me is considered attempted genocide?

My tax return is going to be enormous due to how many dependants I have. I'll have enough money to get TF out of this crazy place.

“Fetal personhood” was always the next shoe to drop after they overturned Roe. I was a little surprised the court didn’t go straight there in Dodd.

All that shit the court said about the states being able to decide about abortion? Lies. These right-wing nutcases are out to ban abortion everywhere. And they will, through fetal personhood. We can’t pass a law to kill a PERSON without due process, can we?

It’ll happen in the next five years unless we reform the court or impeach the six frauds. Based on our current tendency to go from bad to worse, I doubt either of those will happen.

Emigrate now if you can.

Being a person doesn't give them the right to someone else's body to survive.

Unless we're legalizing forced blood, liver, marrow, and kidney donation?

So if fetuses are declared people will Republicans start ignoring them like they do children?

So they count as dependents on taxes, require child support, and allow the mother to drive in the carpool lane?

If a fetus kills you, do they get tried as a minor?

I have about a million pre-people in this tissue. Can I get a tax break?

Officer: Are you pregnant ma'am?

Ma'am: No there's a homeless person who is living rent free inside my womb against my will.

Officer: Stand back maam!

But are fetuses corporations? If a small business incubator fails, is it an abortion?

Careful of what you wish for. I look forward to a future court case that establishes once and for all the definition of a person. Although, with the current Supreme Court, I do admit some hesitation.

I mean, if you want to establish rights for a fetus, what do you do when that fetus belongs to a “Mexican”? What do you do if a pregnant American moves to another country without the permission of the fetus? Not to say these are legit examples, but the courts will fill with bizarre cases like this.

More interestingly, what do you do when science stands up in court and establishes a fact that opposes your belief? Your beliefs have gotten you this far. It’s very plausible that you will lose some of the ground you’ve gained.

It makes me wonder, why are the religious obsess with abortion when the US allows divorce, even though the Bible forbids it? Why not campaign on striking down divorce as well?

Pretty soon they'll be trying to put me in prison for mass-murder every time I jerk off.

Would not surprise me if these same people then try to legalize pedophilia if they win just so they can do everything in their power to legally fuck a fetus. I imagine that's their ultimate goal in life.

Come census time there will be pregnancy tests?
