This amendment is stupid. By defining a "person" as a fertilized cell, do they know what kind of Pandora's box they'll open? If a woman has an egg fertilized, but it never implants in the uterus, she would be flushing "human" remains down the toilet.

It's not the same.....
I'm sure I don't know the guidelines in the proposed legal change, but, I'm sure they're not stupid.
I had a miscarriage, it's not the same as a real abortion AT ALL.

We have no right to be denied permission over our own body. It is a choice, and a very serious yet needed choice. It is not to be used as a contraceptive, and without it the amount of infant murders, dumpster babies, and botched home abortions would be through the roof. Think of the emotional damage of a home abortion gone wrong yet the baby lives physically and mentally deformed because the mother wasn't allowed to get a medical abortion.
I do think there should be a limit on abortions to curb the blatant over use of it though. There is no reason someone needs six abortions... One is possible, Two is the limit, Three you go to jail for capital murder.

Once, although on the male end of things. And it was an extremely serious choice in my life and I don't think I will ever forget it. It will never happen again either.

By all means control your bodies then!!!!
Controlling your body means not having sex and getting pregnant. Having a Doctor rip a living baby out of you and kill it is not YOU controlling your body but you allowing a Doctor to control that babies body.
