“The rights come from God ...”

There can be no right to “have” anything. There is no such thing as a right to have something that must be provided by someone else; such a right would be the right to enslave others, who are forced to provide whatever it is such a supposed right is.

The right to life is not a right to have someone else provide it, it is a right to live by one’s own choices and efforts, not have it provided by someone else.

It does not matter where that right comes from, whether God, or the facts of reality, the nature of that right is the same. Perhaps you believe the right to life is the right to enslave others to provide you life. I do not, and regard such a view as the grossest immorality.

Well my three year old can’t live on her own. I guess I am enslaved to her needs. I will just quit feeding her tomorrow and let her die.

We have the right to life. IOW, no one can take this right from you. Human biology is such that a preborn baby and an unborn baby depend on others to provide their rights for them.

Your assertion is idiotic at best.

Then why are parents routinely tried, convicted and imprisoned when their children starve to death?

This is your most ridiculous logic yet. Apparently your are not even up to the intellectual challenge of high school biology. Who chooses to initiate the conception? In your thinking it is the party who is conceived. Amazing! You have no grasp whatsoever of cause and effect. None.
