Who grants this right, and what do they do to people who violate the right of the unborn to exist? A right granted to a person implies an obligation upon another. If we are granting rights to a person before he or she becomes a person, then we are agreeing that mothers are obliged to carry to term in order to respect that right.
There's more than one type of right, you're talking about an entitlement right I'm talking about a liberty right. Unborn babies have a right to exist, it's a freedom they deserve not an obligation to anyone else. Even people who support a choice in abortion don't usually say "Unborn babies have no right to exist."
I believe people should have the freedom to walk down the street without being punched in the face but I can think of circumstances where I would punch people in the face while they're walking in the street.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
