"Months of gestation are necessary before a viable human being, with individual rights exists."I am curious. Exactly at which point during the gestation process does an unborn child become endowed with rights?

1. On what basis is it so obvious to you that a woman's egg, fertilized in the lab (or more conventionally?) is obviously not a being with rights?
Reason is my basis. - An egg is not a being, nor is a sperm. -- Combining them in a lab is not an act of creation. Months of gestation are necessary before a viable human being, with individual rights exists.
- So our existing law reasons, with no better solution. You have one? - Where?

The Constitution mentions birth, but the USSC interprets it as 'viablity'. Prior to viablity the baby & mothers rights are inseperable, apparently.
You have a better scheme? Convince the court, or a jury.
