But I hope you can agree that believing conception marks personhood is a philosophical issue?
What about quickening? When is it conception? When the sperm enters the egg?
What isn’t a philosophical question? The point is that there is no legitimate reason to pick any point between conception and birth, rather than after. Except a philosophy that values all people.
I want it outlawed at all times because I think a real person’s life is at stake. If it were the case and I was wrong, I would have the inconvience of many women on my conscious, and a few deaths. However, with it legal, if we are wrong how many people’s deaths do we instead have?
The difference in scope to me is staggering.
