What the Hell is Fetal Personhood?
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Boom! Lawyeredβs own podcast host.
One of our listeners, Contessa, wants to know what the hell fetal personhood is. Short answer: Itβs the anti-choice movementβs push to give fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses a legal right to life, which turns pregnancy into a conflict between two people, with the state serving as referee. In this Office Hours episode of Baby Boom! Lawyered, Imani Gandy explains how the law decide who counts as a person, from corporations and Alabamaβs βextrauterine childrenβ to a fetus in Florida whose lawyer tried to spring it from jail.
