A human female is pregnant. The fetus inside her is a human being, correct?

I’m not talking about religion or society or politics or anything else like that. Strictly from a scientific POV. It’s a human being, right?

Here is a perfect example of how effective media and liberal education brainwashing can be. Doubts whether or not a fetus is a human being.

"scientifically", it's a blob of cells until it crosses the rubicon and legally become a blob of human. Depends on what state and Federal Court district you're in.

not sure if you understand this, but religion, society, politics, science, etc, they're all so intertwined that you really can't separate them.

Yes

And if that child has a vagina, we can even go so far as to say that she is a female

science upsets a lot of people today,just as it has throughout human history

The more things change...

Unless she fricked a klingon, yes it is human.

Things used to be so simple.

Babies were human.

You either had a dick or didn't.

You either liked to suck dick or didn't.

Now, it is all fricked up.

Im agnostic and believe it's a life at conception.

But Ill defer to the current law of the land until its legally changed. That's how our country works.

Liberals: No. It's a fetus.

Also liberals: how dare you eat fried eggs. They're baby chickenz for frick's sake.

It's only human if the woman says so. And she's free to go back and forth.

Yes it’s a human

Secondly, I’m a always Trumper but I really don’t care about abortion law, probably because I don’t believe in god. Let them slaughter their spawn.

Well since you asked, I'd say it might be a linguistics issue. If a fetus is a human then why the distinction with words?

You specifically mentioned the fetus which takes time to "form" so that obviously wouldn't be immediately after conception.

If you wanted to call a formed fetus a human I'd take no issue with it.

Here’s a science question also. Human sperm is alive, right? It’s also human right? It doesn’t need to ever find an egg to be alive. It isn’t dead right?

A man breaks into your house and kills your wife.

A US soldier kills an enemy during combat.

Both are murderers?

They both stopped a life.

Laws define acts.

Sure. But I still support the legality of abortion.

You can't try to convince people abortion should be illegal based on semantics.

The fetus is a homo sapian sapian, at least genetically speaking. “Human” is more of a state of being than a scientific descriptor though.

A fetus with anencephaly is genetically human, but one wouldn’t generally refer to them as “human” in any practical sense as they lack the ability to experience any aspect of the human experience.

So to answer your question, I would tend to say that a fetus isn’t “human” in the normal social context of the word until it can survive for any relevant length of time outside the womb and interact with its environment. Until then it’s the genetic precursor to a functional human.

I’m pretty staunchly pro-life but to deny there’s a difference between a 12 week old fetus and a 12 week old baby is so absurd that it hurts your underlying premise. You don’t have to espouse nonsense to be against abortion.

Human life exists in stages.

Stage 1 - Egg and sperm;
Stage 2 - Fetus;
Stage 3 - Baby;
Stage 4 - Toddler;
Stage 5 - Prepubescent;
Stage 6 - Teenager;
Stage 7 - Young adult;
Stage 8 - Middle aged adult;
Stage 9 - Older adult.

Did you just assume their gender?
