Sperm is alive, an unfertilized egg is alive ...therefore gametes are alive.
They are biological. "Alive" is less a less definite term.

1. There are no effective methods of determining when an embryo is fertilized. Affording protections to an embryo that a woman cannot possibly know about creates an impossible burden on her.
2. Requiring that a woman be inundated with material to convince her not to abort as a requirement to do so is coercive and cruel.
3. Preventing qualified professionals from educating kids is unforgivable.
4. From Roe v Wade, the constitution protects the right to obtain an abortion up to viability, which is between 24 and 28 weeks. State laws cannot infringe on that right.
5. No one supports sex selective abortions.
6. A doctor already must inform a woman of potential health risks in order to obtain informed consent. The information must be accurate and not coercive.
The only changes this bill makes are either immoral, unconstitutional, or redundant.
Clearly this legislation is intended to criminalize all abortions except those saving the life of the pregnant woman. No exceptions are noted for rape or incest.

late-term abortion statutes, the Woman’s-Right-To-Know Act,
and the state tax statutes. In addition, the bill would add a
new statutory provision that would declare the life of each
human being begins at fertilization, with all state laws to be
interpreted and construed to protect the rights, privileges, and
immunities of the unborn child, only subject to the U.S.

The bill would provide that nothing in the new provisions
shall apply to an abortion that is necessary to preserve the
life of the pregnant woman.
I see this as an over reaction by the pro abortion people. Something needs to be done about all these children being killed. I understand there are those who are going to cling to the 14th amendment, but things have changed since it was written and we as a society have to change with it. Look people, nobody is looking to take away abortion. We just need to look at measures to keep our kids safe.
