What reasoning or logic can then be applied when suggesting that a two year old has any more right to live than a new born. At this point life is arbitrary, and the person in power (i.e. mother, doctor, state, etc.) can define life so that anybody can be killed I agree. Such a ludicrous statement. Why birth? Why not your 2 yrs.? 10 yrs? 35? Certainly, 85! It seems ridiculous for the courts to give an unborn child rights when the mother is killed in a homicide or in a vehicle...to give the child rights if it is born prematurely and then suffocated by its mom... but to give it no rights until birth and Mom says she now wants to keep it! Pregnant women are scorned at for drinking in a public bar or smoking in a public place because of what that might do to their unborn child. But if they choose to abort...it's legal! Some true inconsistencies here. Marie
