And if you heard nothing about the rights of the woman in what I wrote, then read my post again. Or to save you time I'll restate the position, the issue is potentially two conflicting rights. One would be the woman's and one the unborn child. There is a strong argument that the latter is a non-entity in the first two trimesters so I'm not defending the position. But I'm not going to strawman it either. Your right to liberty ends where someone else's begins. That is the essentials of the argument.
what other rights do the unborn possess? If the mother miscarried there would not even be a death certificate because under most state laws a miscarried pregnancy isn't a person. You can't take out life insurance on a fetus. You can't collect child support on a fetus. A person who kills a fetus while committing a crime will only be charged with its death after viability. I can't get a deduction on my taxes because of a pregnancy. Justice Alito said if a right isn't spelled out in the constitution it isn't a right. Preborn personhood isn't in the constitution nor is it considered a historic norm.
So tell me, what rights does this unborn have?
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
