The fact that there’s no way to make an argument that a 6-week-old embryo is more sophisticated or conscious than an insect makes it clear to me that science just has nothing to do with the whole discussion

So, if it becomes a real person (ie when it is born), let’s give it protections. The idea that “in principle sometime in the future if everything goes really well this clump of cells could be part of a person” is not an argument for forcing an actual person to be a servant to it

I mean look that little clump of cells WILL NOT become a person. It is a small collection of tissues. To make a person, the mother’s body has to donate a huge amount of its own tissue to add on and create the rest. She shouldn’t be forced to do that if she doesn’t want to.
