<<<Oh really, and what would some of those be?>>>

"For instance, the discovery that your fetus has genetic damage such that aborting it is an act of compassion."

So according to you; Is it the compassionate thing to kill all downs syndrome children? How much genetic damage does one have to have in order to justify killing it?

<<<Stages of development are not what entitles one to "Inalienable Rights>>>

"I didn't say that. I said that the fertilized egg has no rights. I was a fertilized egg and I had no rights at that time."

So stages of development are enough to dis entitle one to "Inalienable Rights"?

<

<<"Equal rights are bestowed on "all men">>>

"You don't think women have rights? If you wish to be narrow-minded, then please be consistent."

Don't be a jerk, that is the language used by the framers in the D.O.I. that's why the quotation marks are there. "All Men" encompasses all Human beings. That's why they are called "HUMAN RIGHTS"

<<<"They are not granted by men">>>

"They are declared by men. Read your history. Men have interpreted rights over the centuries in a variety of ways from tribe to tribe, culture to culture, religion to religion, and court to court. But it is always men who have declared these rights based on the prevailing opinion and the self interest of those able to impose their opinion."

Read your history! The D.O.I. makes the opposite assertion and you are twisting it to say otherwise.
