Sorry, Angrboda, but that's not my reason. I argue from the General to the Particular. All Human Beings have All Human Rights. The Preborn are Human Beings. Therefore, they have all human rights. A is the General Principle. B is the Particular Application. C logically follows.
It is exactly the same, in principle, as All Men are Mortal, Socrates is a Man, and therefore necessarily, Socrates is Mortal.
The preborn have rights because they are human beings - the same as the post-born, the same as you and me. Of what is True Universally, i.e. a General Truth, it is either true of all or not at all. That is, if Socrates is a Man, and yet Socrates is not Mortal, it necessarily follows all men are not mortal. Similarly, if X is a human being, yet X doesn't have all human rights, it necessarily follows that all human beings do not have all human rights. Want to maintain that?
