I think what turns many off is putting one person's rights above anothers.

I consider life inside a womb to be a person who has just as many rights provided by the constitution as the person carrying them. They have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, just like the mother does.

I believe it is a horrible intrusion by government to revoke the rights of one of it's citizens simply because that citizen lives in the wrong place at the time.

Could we not use the same logic simply state that people who reside in Hospice care have no rights and we are free to do as we wish to them? We can declare via Supreme Court decision that they have no rights by virtue of their physical, mental and logistical condition. Which is exactly what we have done with the unborn.

Is it really that great a leap from one to the other? This is not a religious issue, it is a moral issue which becomes fuzzy only when we place our own rights in higher regard than the rights of others.

Government intrusion has no place in the womb or in the private life of the unborn. It is their right to live, NOT THE GOVERNMENTS right to dehumanize them.

As I stated in another post: I am against abortion. So exercise your right to educate people that do not agree with your position. Perhaps you can overturn Roe vs Wade. Until then, the supreme court gives people the freedom to accept or reject abortion.
