I have considered it. Abortion laws are not the same as natural rights. They are a body of arbitrary laws designed to regulate medical procedures performed on women. My personal opinion is that there should be no such laws. If people consider abortion to be a sin then they should emphasise that as a moral position not a legal one. My position poses a problem for both sides. If there were no law legislating abortion, then you couldn't force me to pay for abortions and right wingers couldn't force their views on people who don't consider it to be murder. We have screwed with the term "rights" far too much. I doubt 98% of the country can distinguish between legal rights and natural rights. If they could, they would see how these two often come into conflict. Natural rights are rights not contingent upon laws, customs, beliefs, or societal mores. In contrast legal rights are imposed legislatively based on the local beliefs of societies... often contentious and frequently overturned from one era to another.
