Sure it is, since person is a completely arbitrary, socially contextual term.

A person's life begins when the sperm of a male person fuses with the ovum of a female person. Not a moment before nor after.

Terrible picture/argument since the vast majority of pro lifers believe life begins at conception and none of those examples are showing anything analogous to that.

Furthermore, their position does not hinge on whether or not it's considered a "person" since person is a legal construct and they disagree with the current definition - just as people disagreed with the definition of person when it excluded black people and women - or how some disagree with the current legal standard for person which includes corporations and excludes dolphins, elephants, primates and other intelligent animals which many countries are now on the verge of classifying as non-human persons.
