Shakespeare asked a very important question that each of us should ask ourselves, especially those who think it's all right to prevent a fetus from asking itself and answering that question. Most of us had no choice but to be born when and to whom decided to "have" us. Some believe that our parents had the right to decide that we were "not to be". Are you happy they decided that you would "be"?
Besides being a moral right, which should be enough, being born after being conceived is a civil right. After birth, no one has the right to take your life from you- unless you are a "very bad" person. The same moral and civil protections should apply from conception since the fetus has legal rights under our laws as do all of our citizens and even terrorists. If you injure an unborn you are liable for the injury: if you murder a pregnant woman, it's a double homicide. A "non-person" which has the legal protection identical to that of a person, must be a person. They cannot be both at the same time!
There are cases, of course,which strain your conviction against abortion. Besides all the other arguments against aborting a non-person person, there would be the inevitable progression, using sympathy arousing arguments, to end other persons lives arbitrarily. Unless the flood gates remain completely closed, legal abortions will become the precedent which will permit the "elimination" of other"useless" lives. Make no mistake, the secularists, invoking "common sense", for the sake of the economy, high health care costs and other "practical" reasons, would not hesitate to compel euthanasia for any "non-recoverable" condition. Obamacare contains veiled clauses which lead in that direction.
No one should make life and death decisions for some one else as though they were God. This would make God very angry, and if you think water boarding is bad, think again!!
