"you are an advocate for the "right" of people to kill unborn children at any time up to, and including, the birth process for any reason."

I have stated that publicly over and over and over again. Women have the right to abortion.

I have also stated publicly over and over again that if we stop demonizing the practice, then we can educate and assist women who want to abort an unwanted pregnancy, to do so as early as it is discovered. Better still...if you have been raped or have had indiscreet sex, then take a Morning after pill.

Almost all late stage abortions are for legitimate reasons. Otherwise, they could have been done at an early stage.

The fertilized egg has no rights. The mother has no duty to care for it or to want it. Rights derive from self interest. The rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness were stated to be axiomatic because that is what individuals wanted for themselves. The fertilized egg has no self and no interest--nor does the blastocyst or the fetus. To the extent that the fetus takes on human characteristics as it ages--begins to touch us emotionally--and we find abortion more distasteful. Therefore, compassionate people advocate that unwanted pregnancies should be terminated as early as possible, where the potential mother suffers less trauma...and where human sentiment for life in general is not deadened.
