It makes me laugh how many here are so big on the bill of rights, yet many will want to tell someone besides themselves how to live their life. That is a serious problem in America....we have lost contact with the bill of rights and started deciding what is right, well opinions change over time and now we are be oming the nanny state.
It's not the mother's life in question. The whole premise of pro-life belief is that the fetus is a separate human life, with a right to continue to live that supercedes the right of a mother to kill it. The mother should have no more right to kill a 2 month developed fetus than she should have a right to kill a 2 year old child. The two actions are morally identical.
It's fine to address the issue as a rights issue. But realize that half of America believes that two people are involved (the mother and the child), not just one (the mother). If we all thought that a fetus was a lump of tissue, there wouldn't be an abortion debate.
