[Notwithstanding]

Those of us who espouse the notion that there are human rights also hold that human rights pertain to the human person, regardless of his location or circumstance. Rights are only justly curtailed when one freely chooses to misuse their own freedom.

Thus a law-abiding Muslim imam in Tokyo has, in the purest sense, the same human rights as a law-abiding lesbian woman in Vancouver. (NB: it is "All" men who are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, not just SOME men)

Sadly, you have apparently chosen to limit rights to only certain categories of persons, and those whose only "crime" is having been conceived lose any claim they had to human rights by virtue of their unfortunate location (in the womb).

Such a position is pure utilitarianism and a recipe for tyranny. (if you are confused, ask an elderly German about this)

I dont recognize that tissue growth as a human until somewhere near the second trimester, certainly not at conception. You may think differntly but thats your cross to bear, not mine.
