What authority recognizes this 'fundamental human right?' Who says?Neither is your rant. But here is one: The right to not be murdered is a fundamental human right. It has nothing to do with religion. It is wrong for someone to murder another innocent human being, and that is exactly what abortion is. Its a human rights issue.
No human rights organizations, in the US or globally, (outside of religious ones) recognize any rights for the unborn.
Murder is wrong. Only persons can be murdered. Person and murder are legal terms...certainly they are in a discussion where you believe you can initiate change and use force of law against women.
And before you go blabbing about "womans" rights, that is a fantasy. I am a woman, and I tell you there is no such thing as womans rights. There are RIGHTS which ALL people have under the constitution, and the most fundamental of those is the right to not be killed by someone else.
Cool beans. Nowhere in the Constitution are the unborn protected or recognized as having any rights. If you disagree, please provide the amendment(s).
Here is the law, based on the Constitution:
1 U.S. Code SS 8 - “Person”, “human being”, “child”, and “individual” as including born-alive infant | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute
(a)In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the words “person”, “human being”, “child”, and “individual”, shall include every infant member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive at any stage of development.
(b)As used in this section, the term “born alive”, with respect to a member of the species homo sapiens, means the complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut, and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section, or induced abortion.
