"LOL! Another of your deliberate straw men! A woman owns herself. She is not two people. If a woman is two people then how do we execute her for (say) being a serial killer without hurting her other person sitting under her hat? Do we cut her open first to see if her egg is fertilized??"

LOL! It's also been some time since Doctors needed to cut anyone open to determine pregnancy. A simple scientific test is available at any Pharmacy. The analogy between the Dred Scott decision and Roe is precise and it has you squirming.

"If a woman is two people then how do we execute her for (say) being a serial killer without hurting her other person..."

As I said: You're being as ridiculous as you are dishonest. If the State needed to execute a pregnant woman then they would obviously wait until after the birth to carry out the sentence for precisely the reason that it would be wrong to execute the innocent unborn child for the crimes of their guilty mother.

BTW: We are all still waiting for your "scientific" response to this question.

From a purely Scientific viewpoint, at what stage of development does the zygote become a Human Being?
