I don't understand all the attention being given legal opinions.
I asked you for your definition of personhood. You are the one who introduced the term into our discussion.
Let me recap this line of discussion.. We were discussing Tangle's question about whether a woman could stab an unborn with a knitting needle. You had no answer but said something about personhood. I mentioned the fact that the woman could not be charged with murder or homicide and then asked if you meant something other than the legal definition when you mentioned personhood.
I think the reason for mentioning the legal definition was clear. I was addressing the consequences when answering Tangle's question. I am inquiring what your answer means.
At least I know now that you don't seem to care much about the legal consequences. Perhaps you might explain what you do care about.
