Larry Kaufman hit the nail on the head in pointing out that we don't
grant people the right to life AFTER they are able to breathe for
themselves. The starving multitudes of the world would love to have
this right for themselves, as would those hiding from bombs and bullets
(not counting the soldiers who gloriously defend their sacred soil
or ideologies or just are afraid to be shot by their superiors).
The abortion argument seem rather like the argument as to whether
to renew the gold paint on a rotting wooden carving. It's really
nice to respect life, but lets respect ALL life, not just unborn
humans.
