I was a biology major in 1973 when Roe came down. If you had said on an exam back then that a human zygote "wasn't really alive", you would have failed.

You would still fail in my book. As I told my idiot Research Scientist daughter-in-law..."Anyone with any common sense, much less a biology degree such as yours, knows that if you get pregnant, you are going to have a baby. Period. End of discussion." I left her standing there with her mouth hanging open, she has never brought the issue up again.

Ummm...maybe you didn't get the statement, Mr. Nutter.

There isn't any contradiction. A Zygote is a human, with unique DNA. The fact that it lives within its Mother is the condition known as "pregnancy".

Quite true. Anyone with suitable diagnostic tools can tell the difference between a healthy living embryo and one that has expired.

And yes, when you’re pregnant, you’re going to have a baby. Your only choice is whether to have a live baby, or a dead one.
