Conservatives are determined to crawl right up into a woman's cooch, until they reach that conception point sweet spot, and plant a flag for the blastocyst as a person. At that point, a woman's body will belong to the blastocyst! (and the state, as guardian)

person 1. a human being, whether an adult or child I don't think that definition clearly limits the definition to adults or children, and by some definitions of adults and children it couldn't even if it wanted to limit the definition to post-birth with adolescents being neither by some definitions. The key point of the definition to me is "human being". And if that isn't considered a key part in that particular definition then there are others even sticking to dictionary definitions (and really this isn't the type of issue that will, or could, or even should, be resolved by a dictionary) 1. A living human ... 1. an individual human being ... 2. a human being as distinguished from an animal or a thing. thefreedictionary.com and has long, long been the accepted definition. No, its just one of many definitions. Also "person" was your criteria (itself not really a dictionary issue, if you were shown to be wrong, that most definitions, and most people's definitions didn't match what you posted, or if you where right but those facts changed, I doubt you would change your mind on this issue, and it wouldn't be a case of unreasonable obstinence either. The dictionary really doesn't matter much here), mine was human being.
