Right now there are 356 mentions of “fertilized eggs” in the news, according to a quick Google News search, due to the Personhood amendment being voted on in Mississippi.
You see, a fertilized egg to you, me, and anyone with a brain is called an embryo.
As David Schmidt of Live Action points out, “Well there is no such thing as a fertilized human egg. Once a human egg is fertilized, it is no longer an egg but rather called a human zygote or human embryo.”
But that doesn’t stop the media from continuously calling an embryo a “fertilized egg.” In fact the terms “embryo” and “personhood” has about 1/3 the news mentions as “fertilized egg.” That’s a rout, folks. The media has found a term to their liking and “embryo” loses again. (Like always. Man, embryos can’t catch a break.)

The human beings' immortal soul is with infused unalienable rights, endowed by our Creator when two become one, inscribed in our Declaration of Independence. All men are created EQUAL. Fertilized human eggs are fertilized by male sperm. Males and females are EQUAL in personhood. So, a man is getting skunked again by the feminist philosophy that men are useful idiots.
If the media is willing to forfeit their unalienable endowed human rights infused into their immortala souls, then, the media already has. Only
TRUTH has freedom of speech and press. Denying another sovereign person endowed unalienable rights is a lie, prevarication, preposterous, illegitimate and falsehood. It is also stupid since science has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that when two become one, another human being with DNA and personality begins his venture on earth.

I know too many gentlemen who are absolutely gifts from God. Gentle, intelligent and loving. and women WHO are loving and gentle and do not subscribe to wiping out our constitutional posterity, or to treating male persons as utensils. If for no other reason, treating the newly begotten human being with love, attention and care because the fertilized egg is carrying the human genes of the father is enough reason to celebrate with joy, jumping up and down with gladness.

The number of people who really seriously don't know the difference between a gamete and a zygote is, frankly, depressing. Did they just not pay attention in 9th-grade Bio?
One wishes advocating better science education was the answer, but science is politicized nowadays to a degree not seen since Lysenko in the Soviet Union. Making sure more people take, and learn, science—or rather "science"—could actually do more harm than good.
