I am a Canadian and I’ve been praying for this ballot effort for many months because this could really be the beginning of fetal rights in the United States.

What does the proposal actually say? The AP had a really biased headline saying that it could pave the way for “Egg rights”. But the snippets of the amendment don’t lead me to believe that.

Year after year, Duncan Hunter has tried to get legislation passed with the bill he authored, the personhood-at-conception bill that has over 100 co-sponsors, which would define personhood as moment of conception, so, it would allow us to have a reversal of the effects of Roe v. Wade without a constitutional amendment.

"Egg rights"? Crazy. Gametes are different from zygotes because gametes are not on a developmental trajectory to grow their own cells, tissues, organs, and systems, and zygotes are on such a trajectory.

That's why referring to a zygote as a "fertilized egg" is misleading. It's as misleading as calling a Supreme Court Justice a naked ape.
