Re: [At what precise stage would they qualify for full legal status under our laws?] "As I already said they could reasonably qualify at the moment of conception, because at that moment they are a humans."

Forgive me if I inadvertently somehow OVERLOOKED you previously replying with that answer above. (But, for the life of me, I sure don't remember ever seeing that in any of your previous replies offered as an answer to my question about how YOU would prefer that the laws be written and defined....)

Be that as it may though, is it safe to say that that is the legal position that YOU, Tim Fowler, would like to see the US laws adopt? Full legal rights as a human appertain from the moment of 'conception' on?

Re: "But if some other form of protection, rather than officially declaring that they where humans under the law, where to pass, that would probably also be acceptable."

'... Some other form of protection... would probably be acceptable'... such as what?

"...they [the unborn] could reasonably qualify at the moment of conception, because at that moment they are a humans."

So, you would outlaw birth control pills?
