The problem, as I see it, with the entire pro-life movement is they believe in utero life has a right to be carried to term. There is nothing in nature to guarantee this right. A lot of babies are lost in the first trimester of a woman's pregnancy for a variety of reasons. Humans in our society don't get a lot of their rights by law until they are a bit more established in society (voting at the age of 18). Humans don't have a god given right to exist. To think otherwise is extremely arrogant.
