I fully admit it’s arbitrary, though my basis for selecting that isn’t for any acquisition of traits or personhood, but rather due to the legal, social, and medical realities inherent to reproduction as it relates to society.

Women do have a right to an abortion under personal liberty laws/protections.

Not all women are bad, no more than not all men are bad. I am not one of the bad ones.
Cannot help but feel a tad insulted by the proposal of this debate. Ick!
