      Is it only the eggs that count as babies or sperm as well?
      If they do then I may be one of the biggest mass murderers in history

        I haven’t done much killing in the last 10 years or so, but when I was a teenager I slaughtered millions multiple times a day and stuffed them into small sacks and buried them in the trash. My drive to kill has slowed down significantly.

        My mom thought the washing machine was eating those little sacks.

        I don’t know, there’s a lot of competition out there if you’re right. You’ve got around 4 billion competitors.

        I think the ruling covers embryos, so a fertilized egg.

        Either on their own are zygotes, so don’t count as citizens or whatever the fuck is going on in Alabama.

          A zygote is a fertilized egg from fertilization until it splits enough. The egg and sperm cells are gametes.
