Yes, however, if you or your partner menstruates, it's manslaughter.

Is it only the eggs that count as babies or sperm as well?
If they do then I may be one of the biggest mass murderers in history

I think the ruling covers embryos, so a fertilized egg.

Either on their own are zygotes, so don't count as citizens or whatever the fuck is going on in Alabama.

A zygote is a fertilized egg from fertilization until it splits enough. The egg and sperm cells are gametes.

Gamete! That's the word I was looking for, thanks.

I haven’t done much killing in the last 10 years or so, but when I was a teenager I slaughtered millions multiple times a day and stuffed them into small sacks and buried them in the trash. My drive to kill has slowed down significantly.

My mom thought the washing machine was eating those little sacks.

Haha, I’m sure she did.

My son, gross little bastard, he’d stuff them in places he expected no one to look. Like, bud, we gonna clean that far flung corner eventually.

I had to have a talk with him. You gonna murder millions? You gotta do it like Dennis Nilsen. If you can’t do it like Nilsen, you at least need to do like your old man and put that nasty shit in the trash. :p

I don't know, there's a lot of competition out there if you're right. You've got around 4 billion competitors.

Fertilized eggs, in any stage of development or form.
