I see that we will end up disagreeing based on our differing concepts of when and how a human being is invested with rights. I thank you nevertheless for engaging in this discussion, as it is most refreshing to talk about the issue without the Left-Marxist social engineering point of view distorting everything.

Yep. -- 'We the people' made an agreement long ago that an individuals inalienable rights to life, liberty, & property were not to be violated.

It is constitutionally logical that a newly pregnant woman does not lose her rights as an individual at the instant of conception, just as it is logical that the potential child does not gain separate individual rights till viablity..

The dilemma of separating rights in inseparable bodies cannot be resolved.
If we must err it should be to the advantage of upholding the womans rights to her own life & liberty.

Decrees that early term abortion are criminal murder would violate our constitution. State laws 'regulating' early abortion would violate individual rights in being enforced.

Thus, we cannot infringe upon a pregnant womans rights without violating our own constitution. I'll stand with it.
