You are welcome. It appears, however, that the point was lost on you. You had made the following proclamation....

”When two distinct Human beings exist in a close relationship there is always some degree of conflicting interests and rights.”

In my response, I demonstrated how the perspective of conflict is not necessarily a fact, except from a very narrow perspective that isn't under unanimous agreement. At least I don't agree. If you were to positing interests and rights within the context of those things human beings may be enthusiastic about, then yes I can see how conflict does arise and I think I put that particular construct appropriately outside the idea of natural interests and rights, as I don't think our laws relevent to interests and rights should be extended that far.

"and laying out what you perceived to be the possible approaches to understanding Rights. I found that part a little confused and swirling with assumptions."

If it was confusing that is on you alone, as I am always willing to clarify.

If it was 'swirling with assumptions,' it was no more so than the age of enlightenment assumptions used to understand rights and to found the ideals of American principle.

<It's not so much that I didn't want you to stop, I just kept waiting for you to make a point. >

Not to be rude, but you have a tendency to get lost in the trees (forget original posts and points):

<<At the risk of muddying the waters here even further, there is a case to be made for both dispositions to be true. Mother and fetus are one being, mother and fetus are separate beings.>>

You may want to bookmark the beginning of your conversations and revisit from time to time.
