Too vague, please clarify.
If the question is one of law, then it is also a question of rights, and when ever anyone dies of violence it is for lack of rights...For capital punishment the prisoner must go through a process of being removed from his rights and protections... Now; life does not begin at conception...That is a notion out of metaphysics, that all men are created...Instead, life carries on in the child, if that is what people desire.... The question then, is not one of when life begins, because life bagan long ago and is only passed from one form to another... The question is one of rights and when people get rights... Since rights usually begin with an independent existence, to try to give the infant rights while in the womb means to deny rights to the mother...If any person is not free int heir own body, and what they do with it they are not free, which means most of us are not free unless we take that freedom in secret, and because we have no privacy...But rights and freedom are also a heritage, and one can only give to children the rights one has... So, if we want people to have rights, and children to have rights then the mother needs rights, and so the benefit some hope to give to the child they take from the mother...In fact, only the state grows more powerful at the expense of mother and child; but if the question is of abortion, then the problem is the want of rights, because with rights comes wealth, and power, and freedom... And who would not want to share rights with a child, since all good flows from them??? But slaves have always practiced infanticide, because who wants to share slavery and misery with ones own children -while they curse their lives and the mother who bore them????
