Oh, but that is BRILLIANT. You see, if we consider a fetus to be the largest organ, then all these silly "personhood" arguments that other republicans try so hard to pass in an attempt to reverse Roe v. Wade, are pointless. Or can anyone think of a reason why we would bestow "personhood" onto an organ? I can't.
Well, let's see:
Fetus = organ
organ = person
Does that mean I can claim all my organs as tax deductions on my 1040?
"Alabama state Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin (R) is pushing legislation that would impose restrictions on abortion clinics -- a move that she argues is necessary because the procedure is a major surgery that removes the largest "organ" in a woman's body.
“When a physician removes a child from a woman, that is the largest organ in a body,” McClurkin told the Montgomery Advertiser on Thursday. “That’s a big thing. That’s a big surgery. You don’t have any other organs in your body that are bigger than that.”
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.
