And you have no right to saw what a woman does with her womb. PERIOD. If you do, I get a say in what you do with your testes because the sperm that is generated there could ultimately become a person. No more jerking off for you! Gotta protect those possible babies!
A two year old, or even a new born baby, is a little bit different from a gop of cells that does not resemble human life in any shape or form. Again, we should be focusing in on what determines a human life and the sustainability of that life. Allow science to determine when an embryo becomes viable of sustaining itself without the sustenance or nutrients from the mother/host. Because if you start down that road, anything created in a petri dish is considered life and worthy of protection. IMO, human life doesn't start until the fetus can survive outside the womb without technological intervention. Once that happens, welcome to humanity. Oh, you still have no rights under the law, but carry on.
Yeah, that's the point. Keep your morality to yourself and allow the individual the right to do what they want with their own body as they see fit.

I agree that the Petri dish isn’t human life yet.
You are aware the bolded occurs before the fetus is out of the womb? This directly conflicts with your No right to say what happens in a women’s womb. So you should be able to at least recognize that there is a reasonable ethics argument that at some point there is a reasonable debate between a fetus and body autonomy .
