Reasons Why A Fetus Can Never Be Considered A Person

Note: This is not mine, it's taken from this lady on tumblr.

“Now, if you think any fertilized egg is a “person,” deserving of all the same legal protections as a “post-birth” person, then there are a number of other things you’ve got to do besides make abortion illegal:

* You’ve got to count pregnancies in the census. This requires census workers to force all pubescent girls to take pregnancy tests.

* You’ve got to allow people to take tax deductions for pregnancies, even those fleeting, naturally terminating pregnancies that the mothers don’t even know about.

* You’ve got to make it illegal for a woman to smoke, drink, ride roller coasters, etc. while pregnant, even if she doesn’t know she’s pregnant.

* If a girl gets pregnant, doesn’t know it, goes water skiing and terminates the pregnancy, you’ve got to arrest her for negligent homicide. Basically, all fertile women will be required to undergo regular pregnancy tests and other gynecological exams to find out of they’re “murdering babies.”

* If a woman is on prescription medication that would harm a fetus, you must do one of the following things: make it illegal for her to have sex, remove her uterus, or regularly test her and require her to stop taking her medication - possibly putting her at risk - the moment she becomes pregnant.

* If a man impregnates a woman and she continues to drink, eat poorly, take medication, jump on trampolines, etc. - anything that endangers the “person” within her - the man should be able to sue the woman for full custody of their child.”

Can’t you see how absolutely ridiculous that is to consider a zygote alive?

She didn't want to start a debate, but I'll field any debates for her.
