Pro-Choice activist Virginia Ramey Mollenkott writes:
“Anti-abortionists claim that fetal personhood is a biological fact rather than a theological perspective.
However, the fetus is human only in the sense that any part of a human body is human: Every cell carries the full genetic code (a severed hand is genetically human, as well, but we do not call it a person)….six hundred million sperm are “aborted” in every masturbation or wet dream.”
