    Since the actual date of conception would be hard to prove, I would imagine that most legal consequences would derive from the date of birth, not from the necessarily fuzzier date of conception.

    I think whatshe's getting at with the hypothetical is that if they are humans from birth then they have certain rights.... like citizenship, also another hypothetical would an american woman be banned from going abroad for an abortion (because she's going away to kill a human) and would a tourist be banned from going home if she was going to abort her baby ?
    In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!

    This is a good one too, would a woman coming back to the U.S. after an abortion be chargeable with murder? But it perhaps is another topic. :)

    Just a quick answer, nope.

    Only is she had the abortion in the US. You are only required to follow the law in the country you are in when the thing occurs.

    Meaning, even if abortion was illegal in the states, US citizens woudl still have the right to make an abortion in another country and then come back, without them being prosecuted.

    This is the way national and international laws work.

    As an example, as a swede I can have sex with 15 year old girls... Legal age in Sweden is 15. So, if I went to the US, They wouldnt be able to put me in jail for it. Americans who come to sweden can also ahve sex with 15 yo girls (or boys).

    Also, US citizsens are free to go to Amsterdam and smoke weed, as much as they want to, as they follow netherlands laws...

    Just a sidenote:)
