What gives any woman the 'right' to have her own child murdered for her convenience?

The SCOTUS, last time I checked. Roe v Wade. Look it up.

Last I checked, Roe v. Wade was plainly unconstitutional and widely acknowledged to be the worst ever opinion of the SCOTUS. Last I checked, the Constitution said nothing about abortion. Last I checked, the Constitution indicates that the subject of abortion rightly belongs to the individual States, as it does not fall within any of the enumerated powers of the federal government, and therefore, as the 10th Amendment states, the federal government has no Constitutionally-authorized say in the matter.

Last I checked, the line you are feeding us is exactly the same line as that of the failed radical-feminist movement.

BTW, welcome to FR! I hope you stick around!
We'll get you squared away, but... it may take awhile.

Two things wrong here. First, the SCOTUS doesn't have the ability to "give rights". Rights are assets that every human enjoys. The Constitution, with the Bill of Rights, enumerates SOME of these rights and protect the rest under the much-ignored 10th A.

All the SCOTUS has done with Roe v. Wade is say that abortion is legal. The phrase "abortion rights" is a rhetorical device to conflate abortion with actual human rights.

Second, just because something is legal doesn't make it right, nor does it make it a right. The vast majority of the time abortions are performed, it is for selfish and morally vacant reasons.

When a woman aborts her child, it is a separate, distinct life form, with separate, distinct DNA. By snuffing that child out, she is declaring (with the support of the SCOTUS decision) that her personal needs prevail over the human rights of the fetus. This is rarely morally justifiable; perhaps when the mother's life is threatened or severe deformities are present. But, with the state of modern, readily available contraceptives, the rate of abortions in modern times is more tragic than the AIDS crisis of Africa.
