hmmm i just checked the last page and i see topics about abortion, rights of a baby, etc. i did not bother to read all 105 pages.. but to the question at hand: i would come from a religious angle. Yes, a religious angle. by 'life', i am assuming the existence of a soul in the baby? .In islam we believe that the soul enters the foetus at about 3 months i think.
So if for some reason the foetus dies, or there is a miscarriage after this time, then the baby/foetus would be buried as any other person. before this, no.. its not considered a human life as yet.

when it comes to rights, i think that only applies once the child is born.
We cannot just assume that the child will be born.

When it comes to abortion, islamically, we do not condone it, except in the case of rape (i dont know of other reasons at this point, but i can find out).
