I don't take kindly to that
I try to be polite and will continue to if treated that way, but when my integrity is impugned, I tend to lash out, You can only take me at my word, but I would ask, based on my questions and responses, what would you say that I have brought up that would make me a troll?

I value opinoins because people have them. Can I only ask for opinions of people I know?
Have you even read my introduction page? I posted my motives clearly there and would refer you to it.

But just becuase you don't understand or didn't bother to find out does not give you cause or right question my integrity. If my actions or words lead to that conclusion, then I will own that, but I would then ask you to specify what action or words did so.
Thanks

Again, you are not in charge of doling out the "right" to question anyone's integrity. If you don't like my take on you and your purpose here, feel free to ignore me. I see loaded questions and not-so-subtle insults to the entire forum here in some of your posts. Those are two standard-issue tools in a troll's toolkit. I see you requesting a question to be answered when it's already been answered -- another favorite tactic.

I only ask what is required to be considerd a bearer of human rights? What part of that questions states that one takes precidence over another?

It's rather built into the entire discussion of mother's rights vs embryo's rights, because they can obviously not be equal.

To answer your pared-down question, I'd argue that one should enjoy human rights when one is a living, breathing human. I'd also point out that the nature of the relationship between mother and fetus means that inherently the fetus cannot enjoy many human rights (indeed, here in America most minors do not enjoy the full panoply of adult rights).
