Re: Some rights trump other rights

"you did ... say women do not have rights over their own bodies"


No, I never said that.
I merely said that two humans (even two women) can have conflicting rights, where both cannot be completely satisfied.
A woman may not wish to be killed by her mother.

You use a definition of 'human' which excludes the unborn from consideration as 'persons'.

Such a blind attachment to a simplistic ideology is unreasonable in today's world.

Just as blind acceptance of slavery was accepted 200 years ago, but is now seen as barbaric, today's blind acceptance of abortion will be rejected 200 years from now.
