Also (I did go back and check) 😄 I mentioned the moment of conception because you wrote:
"So the "males should stay out of this" only makes sense if you have already decided that fetuses are just a bundle of cells."
Now, it's true, "moment of conception" and "bundle of cells" aren't *exactly* the same thing. But can we agree that the conflation isn't exactly unreasonable?

I intended to refer to some people believing that a fetus is still not a human but just a bundle of cells (ie: tissues) up until the moment of birth, whereupon it suddenly becomes a human being within a second.
But if you were thinking that by bundle of cells I meant "two cells merging into a zygote" then I can see where this could be ambiguous.
This illustrates what I said in another reply, about how we know what we meant and so sometimes do not anticipate how it could be interpreted otherwise. Peace.
