So where do the "right" to choose come from? I can't find it anywhere
in the constitution. I can find a place where it talks about life. The
three unalienable rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Well I can see the pro-life stance in there. One can not infringe on
those three rights of some one else, and when you have an abortion you
have just infringed on the child's right to all three because you have
denied it life, you killed it against its will so you have denied it
liberty, and the unborn child has not been allowed to live so you have
denied it happiness. So, in the constitution we have an argument
against abortion, what can we find for abortion? I could see and
argument that we have liberty and therefore we can abort a pregnancy,
but that in itself is infringing on the rights of another like I
covered before. That trumps all. You have liberties and rights but they
are not allowed to infringe on the rights of others, and abortion does
just that.
