When you say "baby" do you mean a fetus or a baby that has actually been born? You may not see a distinction but the law does and always has.

Since when did law grant man the authority to determine when human life has value and when it does not? Only God has that prerogative.

Man-made law must equally protect the right to life.

Your life began at conception. That is beyond dispute.

Um, pretty much from the beginning - especially in english common law.
