I do not assume, like pro-choice believers, that the unborn have no rights at all. Nor do I believe they should be afforded the complete rights of a healthy competent adult. Age, viability and the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy matter. But I do believe that the unborn have some measure of human rights however minimal.
A fully developed human has the right to live. Those that can be considered to be not "fully" developed - such as newly borns, the retarded, the terminally ill or those in vegetative state - also have the right to live. The unborn do not have that right. How exactly did you find a middle ground between life and death?
