There are sometimes conflicts regarding the "freedom to live". A prime example is the taking of life in the conduct of war. If life was more important to us than freedom, we would not fight wars; we would give up our freedom and comply with the will of our enemies.

The key element here for me is the freedom and responsibility for determining what will happen inside a woman's body. In China, the government determines reproductive matters - one child per family. That must involve some number of abortions. I don't want the government making those kinds of decisions - either way.

The Declaration of Independence lists a number of “unalienable rights, among them, and foremost, is “the Right to Life.” It is a right, and no human being has the right to take it away - certainly not when we are talking about a baby’s life. There is a legal term for taking a defenseless baby’s life: Murder.
