Quote by: Matt  The baby can probably feel nothing, nor does it really think. We give rights to things that can say they don't want to be killed (or, for example, a just born baby can't say "Don't kill me", so its parents, who do have rights can say that for the baby). |
Is this your understanding of rights? If a child's parent kills it, the parent is guilty of murder. The paren't doesn't get to decide if their child has the right to live or not until the child is old enough to speak for itself. Your rights aren't based on your ability to think or to speak, they are based on the fact that you are a human being.
