What's so wrong now is the fact that brain wave activity begins in the child at 5-6 weeks and the heart starts beating about 5 weeks. Brown v Education Board replaced 'separate but equal' of Plessey v Ferguson because of new facts that were introduced to the Supreme Court. I believe states are taking a new crack at the old ruling using biological facts.
If brain wave activity is the chief indicator of life, can we now turn off some ventilators on comatose adults? Some of them do wake up against all odds, but you seem to be saying it's okay to kill them.
I'm glad you now agree that life begins at conception.
There's no "now" to it. You seem to want to pick arguments where there are none. I've never said it didn't. What I'm saying is that using false and dubious arguments don't help anyone's case.
The difference between an 8 month old fetus and an 8 month old baby is 9 months. Not difficult to understand is it?
According to some states, after the second trimester that fetus is a person as allowed by Roe v Wade. At that point the only difference is which side of the womb the baby is on. Deciding when life occurs is a rather delicate issue, we all were once zygotes so to some, life starts there.
I believe it was you who started the deflection with the comatose adult story. You get what you give.
