If the government regarded fetuses as children, pregnant women would be entitled to that IRS deduction from the moment of conception, child support would start on that date, ...
To claim that either the federal or state government defines an embryo as a child from the moment of conception is just stupid.
Is there any church that baptizes prior to birth?
All of which is beside the point, because it is none of your damn business what medical decisions I make about my own body.
I can't wait to see what the holy rollers have in store for IVF facilities that routinely go through several embryos to generate one pregnancy. Following their own rules, they would outlaw the entire practice, thus preventing folks who actually want and can afford babies from having them, while at the same time forcing people who don't want and can't afford to have babies to have them.
I'm guessing they didn't think that one through yet. Either that, or they're hell bent on destroying the gene pool.
What is this obsession with the constantly bolded 930,000?
In this first place, these are not children. Not yet. Some will be, and once they are born, such passion about their safety and survival would be understandable.
Sadly, the safety and survival of children once they are in school is not as important as the "right" to buy an AR-15.
The always relevant George Carlin on this type of obsession:
‘If You’re Pre-Born, You’re Fine. If You’re Preschool, You’re effed’ Read George Carlin’s Epic 1996 Rant Against Anti-Abortion Conservatives
During his 1996 comedy special Back in Town, Carlin opened his show with a high-energy diatribe against the anti-abortion movement, which he said is “obsessed with the fetus” even as it often opposes social programs designed to help children.
Below is a transcript of his rant, which has been edited for length.
One of the more pretentious political self-descriptions is 'Libertarian.' People think it puts them above the fray. It sounds fashionable, and to the uninitiated, faintly dangerous. Actually, it's just one more bs political philosophy.

Same here. I don't think they thought this through very well.
You can freeze a human embryo and they can remain frozen and viable for up to 24 years.
Added to note: You can't freeze a baby or a child.

But mask and vaccine mandates are the exception? Give me a break. If Dr. Fauci knows what's best for you, then so does Clarence Thomas.
At the end of the day, the left advocated for more government control over your body via vaccine and mandates, and they advocated for more religion in politics via pandering to people of color who are the most religious demographic in America.
The left is in between a rock and a hard place. The day the left denounces religion for reversing Roe v Wade, will be the day they alienate their own voter base. Either body autonomy is good or bad. Either religion is good or bad. The left tried to balance it, and it blew up in their face.
Republicans are outraged at the idea of having to wear a mask at Costco, but fine with forcing women to give birth? Seems odd.
But this, other recent decisions, and broad hints from Justice Thomas about what's ahead make it clear that this 6-3 court plans to take the country in a different direction.
Is this the direction the majority of Americans want to go?
