I’ve never heard a satisfactory explanation from liberals how exposure to outside air physically converts a fetus into a human being.

Or, “Should a person’s right to life depend on which side of their mother’s cervix they’re on?”

Trump admin controls the 2020 census. Will the census count unborn babies as persons? That is the #1 question.

I suggest it is a woman’s choice. If a pregnant woman says “Yes, this is my BABY” the the Census counts the baby.

But if the pregnant woman says “No, this is not a baby yet” then the Census does not count it.

Choice!

“Is a sperm alive?”
If they are, imagine all those normal adolescent boys who could be arrested for infinite counts of genocide. (I'll leave it at that)

Are they currently included in the census? The real question is how will they count the 58 gender options identified by ABC News.

Self abuse as a mortal sin scared heck out of me when I was studying Catholicism at 12. Glad I didn’t convert.

...the definition of “personhood” to include unborn fetuses from the moment of their conception...I may be 78 years old, but I still maintain the visual image from tenth grade biology of the diagram showing the first genetic split of the freshly fertilized ovum. That split, occurring almost instantaneously, results in the unique chromosomal makeup of the new organism which will never change over the span of the organism's life - if it ends up a "person" nine months later, it's a person at the moment of conception.....

>“Is a sperm alive?” Moon, an Ash Grove Republican, asked during a hearing Tuesday night... “Have you ever seen a tadpole? Is a tadpole alive?”

Got brain?

No census has ever counted the unborn. GHW Bush was the last Republican to control the process.

Jimmy, Clinton, Obama controlled the other ones since Roe V Wade.

A sperm is alive but is not a person.

It does not have a human genome (just half of one).

No matter what kind of environment it’s in or what kind of nutrition it receives, it has no capacity per se to self-generate its own organs or to mature or develop in any manner.

A better and more accurate term.

And you never will. They believe a fetus is a parasite.

LOL! Don’t let Ashley Jughead see this. She got her panties in a wad (poor choice of words?) over having to pay sales tax on a box of tampons.
