The abortion debate is being used as a cover for a wider agenda that includes getting rid of family planning. My post was pointing out how extreme the Catholic Church is on this matter. Fundinutzie churches essentially follow the Catholic line.

Personhood as designed is all about eliminating family planning. Personhood also poses a pandoras box of legal issues that would turn the justice system inside out. Every pregnancy that did not go to term would be investigable because a person would be a human AT conception. Some fundies even would go as far as eggs and sperms being people based on the argument of "potentiality".

This concept is primarily a religious concept that the Church and pro life interest want to force on the rest of society. It is all nonsense and takes virtually all rights of women medically. It is impossible to separate womens' health issues from their reproductive issues.
