It is self-evident that humans are given the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

This is a philosophical and ethical belief. It is not a law of nature. It is not a scientific fact. It is not subject to a scientific proof.

The whole debate over abortion stems from the weighing of rights of the fetus to life against the rights of the mother to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The mother's right to privacy must also be considered since any attempt to completely ban abortions would involve highly intrusive monitoring of the bodily functions of all women suspected of having been pregnant.

So far the judgement of the majority is that if a women can be forced to bear against her will, she does not have the same rights to life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness as any man does.
