In a new video, the National Black Pro-life Coalition's Dr. Alveda King advocates the "Personhood" movement, which has become increasingly popular in recent months.  Some people claim that 'Personhood' goes too far, because they think it gives rights to 'fertilized' eggs," says King, who goes on to note that tampering with the egg of a California condor could lead to a $50,000 fine and up to five years in jail. "But the tiniest, most defenseless people are not protected at all. When it comes to human beings, there is no such thing as a fertilized egg."  King argues that the term "fertilized egg" is used to dehumanize it and that "Personhood" is "not extreme. It's the truth."
