So, I want to know what you would think if a fetus were given full human rights... Where do you think we would draw the line?

First, I'm wondering... Would the census count them? If they get the full rights as a born human, then they must be counted!

Would the place they were concieved be considered their place of birth? After all, "life begins at conception".

Would you have to have a funeral and a death certificate for a miscarriage? Seriously, when a woman has a miscarriage, even the most extreme pro-lifers say "Oh, you can just have another one!". For that reason, I believe that no one truly equates it on the same level as a born baby.

Oh god help me I don't even want to think about that!
Not taking my prenatal pills would be considered child abuse, or at least neglect. Driving without a seatbelt would be child endangerment!
It would be absolutely maddening.

Don't eat fast food; it's child abuse. lol
Miscarriage? Obviously, you're guilty of reckless endangerment.

If that were true, then God help the woman who miscarries.

Miscarriage would be manslaughter

What if a fetus causes the woman bodily harm?

Could she call the police for domestic abuse? Even if she could, how would they arrest the thing? Plus, you get a social security number at birth... What would happen if someone stole a fetus' identity?

Really, the complications that would arise from giving a fetus personhood are infinite. But, we all already knew that.

Also, in the event a fetus somehow commits a felony...

... Where would the handcuffs go? gonk

If a woman says she's being 'raped' by her fetus I'm pretty sure the handcuffs would go on AFTER they put it in a little jar to be sent off to jail.
