Are they even allowed to teach science in red districts any more? (I mean the kind that doesn't begin with creationism as its base)?

Well, let's see:

Fetus = organ

organ = person

Does that mean I can claim all my organs as tax deductions on my 1040?

Each organ is indeed a dependent.

100%. However, you need to understand that drinking alcohol, smoking, tanning, or eating a Bacon-Cheeseburger may now be considered assault.

Obviously, her brain is the smallest organ in this Republican lawmaker's body.
Just about as stupid as the double homicide laws for killing a pregnant woman. I believe it is 34 states now where that is the case. The fetus transforms from not being a person to being a person depending on who destroys it. And it's funny how pro choice groups who are so loud about abortion not being murder tend to be completely silent on that issue.

If she wants to go down that road, biologically speaking a Fetus would be better described as a Parasite, and we know Parasites are usually bad for the Host and it is best to remove them as soon as possible.
