Topic: Abortion
Quote: An alternative (shorter!) wording of the statement, taking into account the greater context of the Constitution, would be "A (human) zygote is a person". As hinted by the title, the general context of this thread is how the statement relates to the rights of a zygote; we may end up branching out into that area, but the statement is the starting point.
Response: Please note that I added the word "human" to your comment above IANGB. After all it is not my claim that all zygotes are human beings / "persons." Agree? Also, I want to make it clear that I am arguing only for the most basic of human rights (life) and not for the full panopoly of rights that say an adult human individual would have.\n
