yeah, but then wouldn't then your stance just come down to when you think life begins?

I think another interesting point would be that citizenship begins at birth, and so these rights could be interpreted as not applying until birth, unless we instead percieve them to actually be inalianable rights, thus applying to all living people (and thus if you believe that a fetus is a living person you could reasonably feel that those rights would apply to the fetus)

Just tossing those ideas out there.
