"Speaking of rights while adovcating the out and out enfringement of the most fundamental right...the right to life."

But to an arrogant elitist such as this no right is involved. This underscores the world of difference between your understanding of 'Inalienable Rights' and his. You believe there is a 'right' to exist. He simply does not. Rights, in his estimation, can only be conferred on the living.

Try to pin down exactly what does not have the right to life and you'll get one of three answers:

1) We really can't say what a fetus is, but we'll kill it anyway. This is akin to shooting a stranger in the dark, which very well could be your mother.

2) It may be a person, but we're going to kill it anyway. This is more like shooting your mother in broad daylight.

and the old standard...

3) It isn't a person at all and we're going to kill it--though we prefer not to call it that. Now you've shot your mother, referred to it as "elective dispersal of cranial matter," and when asked about the whole affair, you reply, "What mother?"
