Only insomuch as it's a continuance from where you left off at personhood, and the further complications that may arise even if personhood were extended. As I said in the post, I know you didn't propose any of that.
Sometimes it seems like the side arguing for personhood thinks that if they accomplish that one little bit the rest will fall into line. I was merely elaborating upon all of the hurdles the pro-life side will have to clear -even if- the personhood bit were granted, and perhaps -especially- if they chose the route of personhood in argument. The last bit, after @Chas was more directly in line with your comment. I agree that an argument for personhood might be made, and this this complicates things. I think it complicates things in many ways for a pro-life argument that may not immediately jump out -in addition- to how it might complicate a pro-choice argument.
(I can have this convo with you, or some dickhead looking to sentence a woman to carry to term....I'm sure you understand why I'd rather have it with you...lol)
