We
always hear the “pro-life” crowd crowing about the “rights”
of the unborn, but always missing from this conversation is any
discussion about the rights of the mother. The assumption is always
that “you’re pregnant so to hell with your rights, those of the
baby take precedence”.
Notice
my language here. I did not say fetus. I said baby. I’m going to
concede up front that the fetus is a human being and not “just a
piece of tissue”, but when I’m done, you’re going to be furious
that you ever made this argument, because if you are “pro-life”,
this is going to show you just what a hypocrite you really are, both
about the constitution itself and about human rights generally.
