But this isn't true, is it? If it were true, then if a pregnancy endangered the life of the mother we should flip a coin to decide if the pregnancy should continue or not. But any right headed person would agree that the mother's life takes precedence and the pregnancy should be terminated.
That's no contest. The mother is already alive and demonstrably has rights. There's no debate about whether we should let her die for the fetus.
