Since when a foetus is considered a living human being only in his third trimester or just before delivery ????
As far as I know, the debate is whether he/she is considered "living" since its transformation from embryo to foetus at the end of the first trimester or since its conception.
So, in all cases, a 2nd trimester foetus is as living as a third trimester one, and thus, if we follow Dubai officials' logic, women should not drive (or run or even fry French fries) once they get pregnant (or, once the first trimester is over depending on the earlier debate)...
What about driving to go to work? We live in countries that only give 50 days pregnancy leave (and most of the companies have policies not allowing you to take more than 10 days before delivery)?
or driving for a meeting during working hours??
this basically means that pregnant women should resign, hire a driver, a maid (to fry French fries and fish and clean slippery soapy bathrooms), and another “nanny” to carry her older kids and just pray nothing else would lead to her being convicted of hurting her unborn.
