Lol, semen and a period. Wow.
Anyway, to argue your other point, let's talk about that blob of cells.
A zygote is made as soon as the egg is fertilized. The zygote has DNA provided by the father and the mother and has all of the genetic information to develop into more mature stages. The zygote period lasts about four days. He develops into a blastocyst for some 14 days, and then develops into an embryo. After nine weeks post-conception, she is termed a "fetus". From the first stage to the last stage, there is no part where he “turns human.” They are a unique human being from the point of fertilization.
What does it mean for you to be "alive"? Science says that to be alive, there is usually certain criteria. Ability to grow and mature, metabolize, respond to stimuli, adapt, and reproduce. A zygote has all these characteristics. Yes, including reproducing. (That's how an identical twin is formed, it asexually reproduces). And if reproduction is a definition of alive, a 3 year old can't reproduce, but that doesn't mean they don't fit the definition, as they mature they will be able to. A little girl has a uterus inside her, but can't use it until she's matured. Does that mean before she can carry a baby she's not really alive?
"Her Womb, her rights"... So let's continue that... let's say a baby is born. Does an infant have a right to nurse after birth? "Her breast, her rights". Does an infant have the right to have clean diapers, carried, cleaned? It would be abuse if a baby wasn't cared for.
There are more problems with your arguments but I don't have time to continue arguing. You either go by science or you don't. It's a little funny that the majority pro-abortion people deny science when they're typically the more science-minded folks.
