personhoodare

There is no such term as "personhoodare." However, I believe you may be referring to "pro-persohood are," an informal or colloquial phrasing. Alternatively, you might be thinking of "pro-personhood" or pro-life arguments related to personhood. Pro-personhood or personhood are arguments typically associated with anti-abortion advocates who argue that an unborn fetus or embryo has the same rights and protections as a born human being. This claim is often rooted in various philosophical, legal, and medical perspectives.

In the context of abortion debates, the pro-personhood perspective generally holds that life begins at conception. Therefore, abortion is considered a human life and should be subject to societal and legal protections. This view incorporates social, biological, and philosophical theories about the value of life, often invoking natural law traditions.

The concept of personhood underpins many pro-life positions and laws restricting or prohibiting abortion, including principled objections to obtaining or performing abortions, often based on religious or bioethics justifications. Pro-choice positions often counter with arguments that an embryo's development does not inherently confer full human rights or since such would preclude extraordinary cases of physical endangerment or rape, certain conditions like ectopic pregnancy, maternal sickness or the mother already being in perilous health.

The question of when to confer personhood or when life begins is an intersection of law, moral philosophy and modern scientific understanding that remains contentious and has important legal, medical, and societal implications.
