That doesn't even qualify as a weak rebuttal.

In a sense they might be considered to have rights, rights to have their will respected for example, although that's really rights of the still living to impose certain conditions after they are dead, not so much the right of the dead. I'd say the dead don't really have rights.

Which isn't very relevant because unborn children aren't dead.

If your trying to present some equivalence between "post being as human being" and "pre-being a human being" that's also not relevant because the unborn already are human beings. A closer analogy to the dead would be sperm and ova.
