Abortion Statement #2

Check out my previous post on this.

I just watched an edited video of the Rick Warren question session with Obama and McCain re: Abortion, and his question helped me to figure out a way to sum up my belief.

When does a baby get Human rights?
At the moment of conception

When does a baby get legal rights?
At the moment of birth

What that means to me is that the embryo inside a mother is to be respected, revered, and protected second to the mother. Once it is born, it is a citizen of the US, and it deserves every right and privilege that citizenship has to offer. Then it is equal to it's mother and every other US citizen.
