...Unborn children deserve to have as much right to life as their careless mothers!
Superficially that may seem true, but doesn't take into consideration
a few other things.
Such as amniocentesis testing for genetic or chromosomal conditions
confirming a necessary termination, juvenile rape or incest, renal
or cardiac disease detected in the gravida, or simply to preserve
the woman's life as a priority.
Bear in mind that until a viable baby is delivered, it is not a "child".
It's an embryo or a foetus. By birth, only the lower portions of the
baby's nervous system (the spinal cord and brain stem) are very
well developed, whereas the higher regions—the limbic system and
cerebral cortex—are relatively primitive.
In fact breathing, heartbeat, circulation, sleeping, sucking, and
swallowing are the only capabilities of a newborn, controlled solely
by those lower neural centres.
The "unborn child" phrase is only used by the rabid right-to-life mob
as an emotive ploy.
