See how fast your right to life disappears if you don't exercise moral restraint and refrain from taking the lives of others. Contrary to popular sentiment, all rights are earned by constantly exercising your moral competence, which fetuses have none of.

Please specify. This didn't make any sense. The only time this would make sense is in self-defense. And that doesn't apply to the unborn. BTW, people asleep, in comas, or vegitable people can't make moral desisions either.

Really? And not war, capital punishment, kidnapping or treason? Why did we drop bombs on Libya? Self-defense? Or a combination of revenge and real-politics?

No, but, many of their rights are passed by the law on to their relatives, just as in the case with the very young, and the very aged or otherwise rendered incompetent. Would you have it otherwise?
