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?
Wrong.
That's nothing but your opinion. Your assertions about rights is false.
You keep asserting things, (like the qualities of Limbo), which are not known to be facts but which are nothing but your beliefs, and thus what you write is totally dishonest
as there is no general agreement that your opinions are true. You state them as if they were generally accepted as "truth".
Your beliefs are not facts. Your opinions are not facts.
Those who have "rights" are defined in law. In US law, "persons" have rights. When personhood begins is not defined in law here.
I doubt it is there. Your religious opinions are neither truth, generally accepted, or law. There are others, FAR more educated than you, who in no way agree with anything you say.
Thus as usual your oversimplifications and generalizations, opinions and beliefs are not facts, and your writing is totally dishonest.
You incorrectly state them as facts and "truth" but you're just blustering your usual bullshit.
In almost all of the civilized world, there is a clearly recognized hierarchy between a potential actualized life and a fully functioning one, even by the religious.
There are exclusions "for the life of the mother". Thus it is clearly recognized that any rights an unborn may have are clearly less than the right of a potential mother to continue to live.
The possible rights of the unborn are not the same as the rights of the mother. Pretending or ignoring this is not true, is dishonest and false. It's recognized. the world over.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
