It does change the interpretation. I'm not arguing semantics. A baby is very much a live human being. A fetus is not.

Even an unconscious person still has a consciousness. They are merely unconscious at the present time. I don't know why you are arguing my point though. Brain waves would come earlier than other instances so would actually make abortions be performed later. Sorta helps your cause.

I could quote you multiple specific instances now if I wanted. Every study I've read has different answers from 8 weeks to 6 months. Thats why I say we need a definitive unbiased study.

To actually discuss science instead of throwing around political/religious agendas. I'm talking about the study.

I would like to hear more about this part and when it occurs. Still, responses don't necessarily mean conciousness but could.

Some are worth more than others when it comes to the issue of murder. A corpse or fetus cannot be murdered.

And 50 states, or 100% do not recognize abortion as homicide. Whats your point?

Don't look at me, its not my Bible. It just clearly says that harm to fetus < further harm to the mother.
