"It doesn't have any right to exist. It doesn't have any rights at all. That's my point. If you want to protect fetuses and make a public statement on the value that society places on them, it has to be done on some other grounds than the right of the fetus, IMO. I suggested injury to some actual person. Like the mother or father or other interested party"

Exactly. The greatest protection for the fetus is that it is the personal property of the mother and is precious to her. The fetus is her life until such time as it disconnects from her bloodstream and organs and develops the ability to live or die without violating the fundamental rights of another.

Also, both parents are subject to the peer pressures of their society, community, and family, and are thus guided toward a compassionate and respectful regard for and response to human life--if not to all life.

One hopes that the time will come when "fatally flawed" will be the only justification given for abortions, but it is hard to imagine it on this planet.
