When was the last time a four-year-old was issued a driver's license?

So my point is made, yes? Clearly, if a four year old is not a full citizen, neither is a fetus, and to an appropriately greater degree. It is our job as a society to decide when the prudent time to grant rights is.

Nope, it isn't. Your confusing rights (like that to life) with privaleges (like driving cars). The child has a right to life.

"It is our job as a society to decide when the prudent time to grant rights is."

Therein lies the reason you will never understand the fetus versus host (mother) issue. Societies nor governments of those societies GRANT rights. Rights are inherent in human beings...and the right to exist is probably the most germaine to this issue.
