 I'm being serious. People on the other side of the argument argue from a position where it is taken as a given that an unborn child is not yet a human and therefore has no rights, so only the rights of the mother are considered. I am not doing so. I acknowledge that the rights of the mother are valid, but argue that they do not supercede the right to life. It's a complicated issue. When you start deciding who should live and who should die, where does it stop? Where do you draw the line? As a parent myself I find euthanizing babies morally objectionable.
