    as in a fetus is a person with rights.

    So if a pregnant person gets attacked and it causes a miscarriage, it shouldn’t be considered some form of murder or manslaughter?

      no. next. on edit: the woman is the one harmed and her tort is what needs to be made right.

        Well, I suppose you’re at least consistent. Most people agree that terminating a pregnant person’s pregnancy against her will should be a murder charge, myself included.

        Does that mean a woman can sell her zygote? I’m working through the implications.

        You know, it’s far simpler just to say “yeah, it has rights but in these circumstance this other person who also has rights has precedence.”
