Human logic does not persuade God to change His mind about murdering innocent unborn babies.
Which God?

The DOI was not a legal document but it was a political one. In Locke’s sentence the key word is BORN, in the DOI formulation the key word is CREATED.
Anyhow, that is exactly the problem I was trying to explain to your lady friend. We can say that precious human life begins at birth, or that an individual becomes such at birth. That is a statement, that I don’t agree with, but that we can argue about.
But if you say, like the did, that human life starts at conception, that an individual becomes such at the very moment of conception, then that person is endowed with the same constitutional rights of everyone else.
That is another simple fact to understand.
Canada is a dominion of the UK under the British Crown. You can't have royalty and equality, which is why America doesn't allow royal or Nobil titles.
I could be wrong, no problem. Our example is Canada, so please cite the part of the Canadian Constitution which endows these rights.
While abortion is legal right now, remember some 160 years ago slavery was legal, and it was fixed. Abortion needs to be fixed too.
I stated a simple fact:
In every western counties every man in endowed with certain rights, like the right to life or personal liberty.
This is true even in the monarchic United Kingdom, I assure you mate. If you do not think it is true, I would love to know the reason.

Which God?
The One True Creator God of the universe.
Which one is that? Shiva or Allah?
If you don't know then you admit ignorance, I take it?
Actually according to the following 2017 article:First of all, it would be very interesting to know what is the number of women who had an abortion because precautions didn't work, and I think it would be quite low. ....
More than half of women who got an abortion last year were using contraception
....It would also be interesting to see why the highest number of abortions are had by women between 15 and 25,
More than half of all U.S. abortion patients in 2014 were in their 20s: Patients aged 20–24 obtained 34% of all abortions, and patients aged 25–29 obtained 27%.6
Twelve percent of abortion patients in 2014 were adolescents: Those aged 18–19 accounted for 8% of all abortions, 15–17-year-olds for 3% and those younger than 15 for 0.2%.6[/B]
It's not a fact, you didnt produce any proof that it is so.
And abortion is legal in all those countries.

Then why dont all the 'Western countries" you keep referring to recognize rights for the unborn? None of them do.
None of them agree with you...so that pretty much leaves us still asking: what authority says the unborn has a right to life? Besides you.
If you could understand that people's moral perspectives on the unborn AND the law are subjective, and not based on biology, you'd be able to get a little further ahead in the discussion.
Actually more than 50 percent of abortion patients are in their 20s have more abortions.
Less than 25 percent are teens.

Your mistake is considering the unborn as an individual. The unborn cannot be considered an individual/separate since it is still attached to the woman by the umbilical cord. It is still dependent on her bodiliy systems for nourishment, oxygen, and excremental functions.

I could be wrong, and if that’s the case just let me know, but I think that most of Western countries do recognize some rights to the unborn. That is why late term abortions are not allowed in most of European countries.

The proof are in every single constitution of every single western country. Canada is an example, another user has already posted the proof you are looking for.
I don’t know if you understood that I’m talking about human rights in general and not specifically about abortion...
And what about someone who lives in a comatose state. Is it an individual or not?
If what makes the difference between an individual and a not-individual is the ability of one’s organism to live indipendently, what about those who need some sort of external forces to live, like someone who lives in a comatose state?

I didn’t talk about just teens. I talked about the group of people aged between 15 and 25, which includes women in their mid-twenties.
