If a 12 week old fetus...

... or any fetus is determined to be - in some states - a person with rights.....

Can they be claimed as a dependent on Federal income tax returns?

Never mind all that shit about claiming a kid for his birth year onward. Claim the kid from conception!

Let the IRS sort it all out. Those people are nuthin' but understanding.

How deep is this person hood crap going to go? I have friends who have sadly suffered several miscarriages before successfully carrying a baby to term. Would they be serial killers under a law like this. Could a state blame a woman for losing her fetus, and put her in prison?
