The current GOP plan allows "unborn children" to be listed as beneficiaries of college funds, interpreted as an effort to legally define fetuses as people.
The law is not clear on exactly who or what counts as a person [ ]. Pro-choice advocates worry that, if the law declares the fetus a person, then the war for reproductive rights will be lost. The pro-life population, on the other hand, welcomes such an interpretation as a means to wage their own war on the legality of abortion.
