    tape worm which also contain more human dna than a fetus does.

    Not that im disagreeing with your overall argument, but a fetus has 100% human dna… otherwise it wouldnt develop into a human lol

      A fetus does indeed have 100% human DNA, but a tape worm has about 70% human DNA.

      An 8 week fetus is about 20 g, an 8 week tape worm can become up to 30 ft, weighing several pounds. 70 % of a pound is more than 20 g.

      And with the new slave mother laws, the fetus isn’t more than a handful of grams at the cut off date, making it all the more poignant.
