Right at conception
There can be no discussion of the subject here, other than repeating the position of the Board:

This goes way back to some discussions of this very question nearly 20 years ago. A bunch of people were banned for having a discussion of the subject without affirming what became the official position of the Board.

The article argues for “gradual” personhood. In this theory the further along in gestation the baby is, the more of a full person it becomes.
A fertilized egg (zygote) has no personhood. A full term fetus, just prior to birth has near full personhood.
The argument she makes is that by restricting abortions to 15 weeks; prior to second trimester (when the fetus has little or no recognized personhood), pro-life policies may push pregnant women to seek abortions in states that allow later (2nd & third trimester abortions) at which point the fetus has gained more recognition as a “person” though not full recognition.
As with all other efforts to justify murder, these intellectuals (philosophers) must dehumanize the person they want the option to kill. In this case, the unborn baby. This particular philosopher seems to want credit for a partial recognition of a baby as a person given the gestational development.
peace to you
When does God view the person as being human is the only real answer, and that would be at conception!
The child is human at conception
And the liberals will dismiss that - for one reason - to justify abortion
At conception, most definitely.
Just curious if you as an admin are lifting the board rule for this thread that prohibits saying otherwise.
Lol, sounds like entrapment...
