>> If abortion is just banned then the unborn’s rights are observed and the female who is pregnant has hers ignored.

What right of the female is being ignored? Natural rights do not conflict. A right is a claim on all others to respect that right. The mother may not violate the baby's right to life.

Most mothers, God love 'em, would move heaven and earth to protect their baby's life.

What right of the female is being ignored?

The right to her own body and decisions about what happens to it. We all should respect each other's right to our own bodies. Wouldn't you agree?

A woman's body changes drastically as a result of a full term pregnancy. A female has no right to govern those changes to her own body? You govern those decisions? I do? Government does? Why would a unborn baby have the right to do that when a female should not? Would this not be the very right you just said should not be violated? Keep in mind I seek a solution where no life is lost.

I am a man so I cannot offer a pregnancy for comparison with myself so I will offer something else. Let's say, I find out I have cancer after years of working with known carcinogens as a part of my career. Some treatable form. Is it your place to govern my body and force radiation upon me or is it my place? What happens to my own body is not a natural right assigned to me but instead assigned to others?

I am not giving up my own right to decide myself what happens to my body. Would you? What would it make me if I commanded others to do what I would not do myself? I think you know.
