On a related note, I will say this. I am favor of pro-choice, if for no other reason than to stop over population. But I'll admit I have a tough time in my own mind thinking it is fine to kill an unborn baby. I guess I rationalize it as thinking it is not "really" a baby.
Now Luckbox might ask, when do I think it is.....and that's also a tough question. I guess in my mind if it has a heartbeat, that is probably where I'd draw the line.
Sure, accept again, science matters. What lawmakers have come to describe as “heartbeat” bills are not actually heartbeats. It’s fetal pole cardiac activity, which is little more than electrical activity in a rudimentary group of cells approx 3-4mm wide. It’s nowhere near resembling a person, or a cardiovascular system, or a heart- it’s merely an indicator of future viability.
But yeah, the white dudes in congress don’t actually give AF about science or heartbeats or personhood. They’ll use whatever intentionally obfuscating language to play on the emotions of people who don’t know any better, like you, because it works.

Maybe we just leave women’s health to women and their doctors though...
