Unless it's regulation around one's body, then they absolutely love it to the bone. Who can go in which restroom? What genitals you can have to be able to participate in what sporting events? What to do with a lump of cells trying to kill you? What to do with a lump of cells that has killed you? They have very strong opinions on that they will make laws for.

If you're going to be reductionist you should at least be consistently reductionist otherwise you're just making noise. The same argument can be used to justify any murder.

> Sentience is an important concept in ethics, as the ability to experience happiness or suffering often forms a basis for determining which entities deserve moral consideration, particularly in utilitarianism.[5]

For reference, a lump of cells part of fetus isn't sentient in any sense of that word you could imagine. A braindead woman being kept alive as an incubator for a fetus isn't sentient either. A mentally/developmentally challenged person is sentient.

Conservatives love government regulations. They do not like the kind of regulation that prevents frauds or prevents them from harming others.

But, they like it when government regulates personal lives of their perceived enemies, protects large businesses at the expense of poorer people.
