Unfortunately for you, you lack the authority to veto the etymology, which contradicts your claim that person equals human.
I never said that you can’t object. You can object all you want, but I’m also allowed to dismiss it as nonsense.
No actor? No personhood. Make a better argument?

Etymology doesn't determine meaning.

Rights are legal constructs, I’m afraid. Plus, access to development prevention falls under the constitutional right to security of the person.
I’m sorry, but you haven’t made a convincing argument. Personhood is not a synonym for human. That’s the etymology, whether we like it or not.

American Versus British English: What Are Biscuits, Muffins, and Pudding? - BrainStuff
The English-language terms for different baked goods vary based on where English is being spoken. Learn why an American cookie is a British biscuit, an American biscuit is a British scone, our muffins...
