    Yes, it is. And it’s fucking terrifying.

    But you can’t really push it much further unless you plan to prosecute wet dreams as genocide.

    The rights argument has — for as long as I remember — been “life begins at conception”, which is why it can be applied to frozen embryos, because conception has happened. (Despite that being dizzyingly stupid, it still has a miniscule amount of shitty logic behind it.)

    So despite me knowing the right is absolutely nuts and has no logic to their “logic” at all, I don’t see any argument being possible for “gametes are people”.

    Because then ovulation would be murder without conception and even a successful conception would mean the man is a mass murderer, as hundreds of millions of sperm would “die” from not being the one that made it.

      I have a feeling the gender that is subjected to those is safe from these laws
