🇺🇸Mandatory vasectomies is a very viable concept.....🇺🇸
In terms of the big picture:
1. Stops unchosen pregnancy
2. Stops mental and physical life long scars on female children from unchosen pregnancy.
3. Stops young men from being held accountable to 18 years of child support by an unchosen pregnancy.
4. Stops fathers from going to jail for failure to make support payments.
5. Reduces the need for social programs.
Which, in my opinion will, over time, result in every single child being a chosen child and the return of the family unit with fathers in the home to raise their children and to give their sons a hands on role model.
Or....... you know, the government can give women's bodies back.

Abortion will not be criminalized in Maryland, trying to frame the race around that issue seems counterintuitive.

If the logic of Genesis is right about the self beginning at first breath, then the first experience of the self must be "hunger for air." Which is a term from the science of physiology.
*
If this logic from Genesis is wrong and the self begins BEFORE the first breath, then some experience other than hunger for air must occur before the first experience of hunger for air.
*
Maybe the first beat of the heart. However, there is self control over the breath but not over the heartbeat. I can take a few deep breaths and then hold my breath for a certain amount of time. But I can't take a few deep heartbeats and then hold my heartbeat for a certain amount of time. Self control-- control relative to a self-- exists for the breath but not for the heartbeat.
*
The physiology is most likely that "astrocytes" (a kind of "glial cell" in the brain) are connected via "connexins" which flood the system during parturition. Astrocytes are required for consciousness, because the "astrocyte syncytium" is a basic part of the brain.
The emerging astrocyte syncytium enables memories.
And memories involve the self.
But instrumentation for all of this would be difficult (if not impossible).
*
In its initial state of hunger for air, the self has developed only the shortest forms of memory. Long term forms of memory don't yet exist in this state.
(More information about memory and the self in the youtube video "A memory of kindness.")
*
The logic from Genesis appears in the words:
"... breath of life ..."
Logically there must be a first breath.
And logically there must be a last breath.
(For more quotations from the Bible, Google the article: "Pro-choice pastors like Raphael Warnock have the Bible, history on their side")
There are multiple regions of memory in the brain. When all these memory regions are connected together into one thing-- "the astrocyte syncytium"-- at this point in the process the self is initialized.
From this point on-- because of the common, astrocyte syncytium-- every memory center in the brain remembers the same (one and only) self.
*
It took billions of years for the astrocyte syncytium to evolve into it's current state within the human being:
The self as a distributed system of memories. Each one implicitly involving the self which is creating that memory.
*
The memory might be ”The chef served the customer an omelet"
Here it is implicit that it is *me* - the self in question - who not only sees the chef serve a customer an omelet, but also sees THAT a chef served a customer an omelet.
While on the other hand the astrocyte syncytium makes itself *explicit* in every memory that it connects.
Implicitly it's "the self."
Explicitly it's "the astrocyte syncytium."
