...they would believe that:
Pregnant women should be not only allowed but legally required to claim a Child Tax Credit.
Any child conceived in the United States is an American citizen.
Women who suffer spontaneous miscarriages should be tried for involuntary manslaughter.
Women who use an IUD or hormonal birth control that prevents implantation should be tried for premeditated murder.
Men who know their wives or girlfriends use the abovementioned contraceptive methods should be tried as accomplices to the crime of murder.
Parents whose insurance plans cover their daughters' medical contraception should be tried as accessories to murder.
So should pharmacists.
And finally:
If pro-lifers really believed their personhood rhetoric, they would believe that no heterosexually active woman knows exactly how many children she's had, even if she thinks the answer is "zero."
They would be overcome with grief at the thought of the many, many fertilized eggs that quietly fail to implant, but slip painlessly from women's bodies in the course of what feels like a normal menstrual cycle. The fact that these eggs have roughly the same size, shape, and cognizance of a period on this page would be irrelevant. The tender feelings evoked by the thought of one of those eggs would be exactly the same as the joy one feels holding a newborn baby. I mean, a newborn baby that's actually big enough for someone to see and feel.
