I didn't claim anything of the sort. I was just trying to ascertain where you stood on such an issue. Something I still haven't managed because you still haven't told me why you valued the baby over the foetus.
However, I do agree that a baby has a 'stronger right to exist' as you put it, but not because we value them more. But because it is no longer forced onto someone like a zygote would be. The mother could simply put the baby up for adoption unlike with a zygote where she would have to carry it around against her will for 9 months if abortion was illegal.

I hope you realise that everyone is using that as a joke. A ridiculous position to match your ridiculous position.
