Not particularly relevant. Even if the fetus did have rights it still has no basis to use another person's body without their consent.

Children do have rights once they are born.
Until then, they are dependent of the women's body, meaning they have no independent rights.


They are a human, so they have rights.

Yes, which makes abortion much worse because, as I said above, it terminates a helpless person just because you don’t want them.


Are you repeating this argument again?
No it does not. A woman's circumstances takes priority. A woman, who is an independent living individual takes priority.

What’s the difference between an unborn child dependent on a woman for food and nutrients and a born child... dependent on a woman (or combination of man and woman) for food and nutrients and everything?

An independent child is breathing without assistance for one.
This also depends on the stage of the abortion, which usually is at a very early stage.

Forget the fetus for a moment, I was talking about born children. The argument I was responding to was that that the fetus was "Dependent" and therefore could be removed. But so are born children. Completely dependent.

A woman has a means of ceding responsibility for a born child that is not inherently lethal. A pregnant woman has no such luxury if she wishes to no longer be pregnant. Such is sad, but hardly deserving of impediment.

That's... really not true.

The odds of dying from pregnancy are negligible.

Right, but you said a woman could kill the unborn child because the child is dependent on them. But so is a born child.

Rape, medical concerns, financial concerns, defect birth control, change in circumstances.
