A baby has the inalienable natural right to the womb he was conceived in. I take that truth to be self evident.

I take self-evident in this context to mean that you are not willing to provide a moral argument.

God said, "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." I therefore take it as self-evident that old women without relatives to care for and vouch for them should be dismembered and burned in public.

This is, I aver, not a sound basis for making public policy decisions in a representative republic that eschews church involvement in the state's business.

That has the logical strength of a soggy wet noodle..

I'm not talking about the church, I am talking about basic respect for human life. The womb belongs more to the baby conceived in it then to the mother. The baby will die without the womb, the mother will not.

The baby's right to live superceedes the mother's selfish right to be free from "inconvienence".
