For an embryo to be called a person, their parents must make that designation. No one else has the right to do so.

Do you seriously not see the huge hole you're falling into here?

If an embryo is not a person until her parents say so, then she got her status as a human person from other humans. Once some humans get to decide when and if other humans are really humans, powerful humans will want to take that mantle on themselves ... if parents get to play God, then politicians will want to play God, too.

And they'll want it in regard to people who already born, not just people who are in the womb. People who are inconvenient ... the wrong race, the wrong religion, the wrong set of political views.

That's called "tyranny" and "genocide," and it flows inevitably from the logic of abortion.

Parents do get to play God as a gift per Gen 1:26-27. They were created in God's Image, male and female. That Image included the capacity and right, under their own sovereignty of will granted as free will to procreate as they see fit. That is but one of the unlimited number of things granted per the image. Note that God didn't create politicians, nor did He grant to those He did not create a single right, or power, especially a power over anyone else.

"And they'll want it in regard to people who already born, not just people who are in the womb. People who are inconvenient ... the wrong race, the wrong religion, the wrong set of political views. That's called "tyranny" and "genocide," and it flows inevitably from the logic of abortion.

The people grant them this power. Even in the case of tyrants, some clymers have to back them up with their murderous thuggery. The founders recognized this and so did others, that's why they penned the second Amend.

Note also there is a limit to how long it takes the parents to make a decision. When the matter no longer resembles contraception and the near embryo begins to resemble baby, the state that also determines the age of reason as justified by their fundamental justification to protect rights; also has the right to determine when they will recognize at what stage of physical development they'll recognize personhood.

Also note that the parents have the sole right to determine tyranny, that is not, nor was it ever a power of the state.
