The Shattering Effect of a High Explosive

Forgetting for a moment that the whole “personhood” issue is just a mask that anti-abortion(ists?) use to cover the fact that they are in actuality trying to police women’s bodies and sexual behaviors, when did it become the government’s place and job to define what a person is? I’m pretty sure it was agreed a long time ago that that wasn’t the type of thing a government should be doing. It just seems so absurd that this kind of argument is even occurring in our legal framework. This really isn’t an issue that elected officials should be deciding. It’s not their job, at all. There are so many more important things they could be doing. Figure out your budgets, punish criminals, hell, even just attack each other for all the good you’re doing arguing about when someone becomes a person. I’m not sure when a political science/legal degree and a propensity for earning and spending a lot of money and shitting out good PR qualified you to determine at what magical point something becomes a person. Because it doesn’t.
