I really want to tell her that no, your fetus does not have a sense of humor and has no idea that you're watching an action movie.

I didn't read all the responses, but just from reading the OP, I don't think that thread is the best use of the personhood speech. Who cares if she thinks her fetus is a person? It's not hurting anyone.

Oh and the friend in the OP sounds like a total drag.

From seeing past posts, especially Wino's, they want their beliefs to be the legal definition of personhood.

Yeahhh, you're not going to convince them of pretty much anything relating to that topic. Their minds will only change (maybe) if THEY are the ones faced with a terminal pregnancy or other situation where termination needs to be considered.

Someone on our board already did. Thankfully, if anyone was heartless enough to disagree with her decision, they kept their mouths shut.

Quigley, right?
And thank god she didn't get any flack. I think all of PgAL/PAIF would have come unglued on someone who disagreed with her.

My two reactions:

1) That joke was really dumb.

2) I may agree that a fetus is not a "person" but I sure as hell am not going to pull the joke-teller aside and say that. You know, because I'm not a party-pooper.

Yes. Her posts made me cry for what she had to go through.
