It is not aware of self or surroundings. It cannot sense or respond to any stimuli. It cannot survive independently of the mother until it reaches the gestational maturity necessary to have at least a 50/50 chance of survival after birth with the most advanced life support systems available.

Is it human?  Yes.  Is it alive?  Yes. Is it a living, individual human with individual rights which supersede the rights of the mother?  In my opinion, emphasis on opinion, it is not. I concur with the Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade opinion.

What will change my opinion?  Evidence my current opinion is wrong.

Certain rights should supersede other rights. Others should not. The right to human life should supersede everything. The right to the mothers life should supersede the right of the unborn child though. If you don't want to take care of the child, or if you cannot take care of the child give it to an adoption agency.

Now the state of adoption agencies is another issue that I have. I think that the government should be putting more tax dollars to help children more than what they're doing now, but that's a whole different topic.
