Law (current law in the United States, which is different than law in other countries at other times) protects the inalienable human rights you speak of. If (and no this isn't a given) the human-to-be is considered to have these rights before birth, this human-to-be's right to life may be in contradiction with the mother's right to liberty or the pursuit of happiness. Clash of rights.
But that's a whole different debate... sorry for getting kind of off topic here.

Chose to sidestep the question huh? No worries, I expected it.
This last paragraph is interesting though. Human to be? Interesting wording. Of course for any of this to have any meaning at all, the onus is upon you to demonstrate that the offspring of two humans, even at the earliest stages, is not a human. Can you do that?
And if we have a clash of rights, which is more important? The right to life, or the right to privacy? Do you have a right to kill your neighbor who keeps a telescope trained on your house all the time and invades, or restricts your privacy?
