My answer to all these questions is no.
I am watching the hearing on Reproductive Rights.
The lies being told by the anti choice crowd is amazing.

(4,646 posts)1. But an acorn is not a fig tree, and a tomato seed is not
a watermelon, and a zygote is not a kangaroo, therefore it must be a human being.
People are nuts.
A zygote may become a fig, a mushroom or a kangaroo. What are you trying to say?

(4,646 posts)3. Yes, it "may become."
I'm saying that no matter what anything may become, it's all nonsense when used to justify taking away a woman's right to have control over her own body.

Zygotes dont and shouldnt have rights. Nor should fetuses.

for genocide.
They kill billions of potential-people sperm every year.
