Equal Rights and Abortion

Paper Summary:

This paper contends that if all human being's rights are equal before the law, then no human being's rights are superior to another. It argues, however, that there is group of human beings that are being denied their basic human rights in abundance and how these are the unborn children victimized by abortion.

From the Paper:

"Pro-choice activists claim that a human being is not truly alive until he is fully developed. If this is true, then any human being who has not yet reached adulthood would be considered "not alive". Babies inside the womb are just in a stage of development, like the toddler years or teen years. Is having a heartbeat enough to make someone human (4 weeks), or does one need a tiny complete human body (13 weeks)? Where does one draw the line? The physiological and developmental differences that occur between the stage of being an unborn child to a born one are minimal vs. the changes that occur between the toddler and the teen years."
