    Arthur Chu Retweeted Erin justice breyer please retire Ryan

    Hardcore pro-lifers want to redefine the term "pregnancy" so it doesn't start from implantation of the zygote but from the fertilization of a zygote at all They shouldn't be allowed to get away with this, not least because of the implicationshttps://twitter.com/morninggloria/status/1371182562349969414?s=20 …

    Yo @washingtonpost this is annoying: Plan B doesn't cause abortion. Plan B won't do anything if you're already pregnant. Plan B only makes fertilization/implantation more difficult. This misinfo is used all the time by anti-choice folks to make access to Plan B more difficult. pic.twitter.com/eaIA1ShEoh

        The thing being, there's no possible way to know how many "abortions/miscarriages" occur if fertilization = pregnancy It's impossible to measure, unless you go inside the uterus with a microscope looking for the zygote using futuristic Star Trek nanites

        The person's body *doesn't react in any way*, by definition, until the zygote implants When we say that "chemical pregnancies" are extremely common and pro-lifers have stigmatized talking about how 50% of pregnancies terminate before anyone notices, that's STILL implantation

        There is no test that can tell you whether a sperm fertilized an egg before the zygote actually implants in the body, it's not possible If you really believe that that's a "human life" that must be saved then the number of "miscarriages" could in theory be *incredibly* high

        The only logical way to "save lives" would therefore be to 1) just straight up ban PiV intercourse, it's creating a "life" and putting it in an incredibly dangerous environment, 2) mandate in vitro fertilization as the only ethical way to make babies

        They will not be satisfied until pregnancy is defined by fertilization without menstruation. If you've had unprotected sex you are legally pregnant until determined otherwise.

        Starting from implantation, or even a bit further, is also weird when you consider twinning. "Each of us uniquely began as a rights-having life form at this moment, and twins... just happen to have been the same person then? Or all zygotes are potentially worth 2+ people?"

        (Of course for medical and not philosophical purposes implantation makes sense; we don't say having twins makes someone "double pregnant")

        It looks like the wapo piece is being misinterpreted anyway; my reading is the woman couldn't get Plan B because she was already pregnant, i.e post-implantation, so no pregnancy could be prevented. The reference to abortion is in effect her Plan C, not a synonym for the Plan B.

        And, of course, this means criminalizing all sorts of behaviours among women. Drinking? Drugs? Smoking? You could be endangering a pregnancy! Prove that you weren't pregnant. Prove that your wanton behaviour didn't cause an unknown miscarriage of an unknown pregnancy!

        I don't have a problem with a moral theologian choosing to define pregnancy differently than doctors when confronted with more knowledge that requires drawing an arbitrary line just like an astrologist and an astronomer are free to define planets differently.

        Saying that they have to use a medical definition doesn't mean that they have to think that a pill that blocks implantation is okay. They'd just say that whatever the term for that is also evil.
