Neither is simply possessing the right genetic code and being at the start of development. Becoming human is a process and it has lots of pesky grey areas. People try to draw lines within those grey areas and codify them into law, which ends in tears. The notion that a fertilized cell is human in any but the most rudimentary and reductionist sense is laughable. It's entirely possible that it isn't even viable. The whole notion is founded in thunderingly ignorant religious dogma that was cooked up before the dark ages. The only thing more absurd would be the misbegotten idea that some Senator or other should have any say over a woman's body.
I have a compromise for the pro-birthers. For every woman who is forced to carry a child to term the offending sperm-donor shall have his balls sliced off. We've clearly thrown bodily autonomy out with the bath water and the idiot has demonstrated that he can't use them responsibly. Fucker damned near caused an abortion! A lovely deterrent that is guaranteed to prevent repeat offenders.
