171? Sure…:

So this is going to boil down to your definition of personhood*
“Personhood” - give me a break from such a PC crappy word. What exactly do mean by “personhood”?

When is that in the fetal development process? If you are looking for a specific time point when an embryo becomes a fetus becomes a baby, go ask different doctors (which I am not) and you will probably get different answers as well.

And what rights does one person have to interfere with those of another?
Now this is a loaded question - it happens all the time every day. The government interferes with our individual rights, organizations of every type can interfere with our rights as individuals, and individuals interfere with other individuals all the time. Question really is - do you have the actual power to stop that interference if it is unwanted, or must you just go along and acquiesce because you are powerless to act?

OK. I will define “personhood” as the point at which the developing fetilized egg should be granted full legal standing and accompanying rights.
