I care not if that human life is just a bunch of mindless cells; technically speaking, we are made up of nothing but mindless cells. I do not see why our consciousness is grounds for having human rights. Do we take human rights away from brain dead people, or people in comas? No. Human rights apply to all humans.
Nope. But are we talking about taking rights to self determination away from a woman who is both human and a person by forcing her to bring a pregnancy to term? I vote for just letting the women vote on this one. Better yet, lets just leave it to each one to decide for themselves.
