Regardless of the etiology of the laws the Government does recognize the fetus as an individual life. Unless taken by the mother. That was the point.
The logic is entirely circular. We didn't treat a fetus as a full person. Then, because anti-abortion people recognized that this wasn't consistent, they chose to do so in exactly one way primarily to make a point about abortion, but no other ways. And now you are trying to use it as evidence that the government does treat a fetus as a person.
I mean: Job 3:16; Psalm 51:5; Psalm 139:13–16; Isaiah 44:24; Isaiah 49:1; Isaiah 49:5; Jeremiah 1:5; Jeremiah 20:15–18; Luke 1:36; Luke 1:44
Okay, let's go through those. How do you figure Job asking why he couldn't have been stillborn is a statement about how life begins at conception or abortion is wrong because it is ending a life? It is going to be a long walk to get there, but let's hear it.
