- Pro-aborts often argue that the fetus should not possess the
- right to life because the fetus is connected to the mother.
-
- Following that line of reasoning, we would conclude that both
- the mother and the fetus would not possess the right to life
- because they are connected to each other. I reject that line
- of reasoning.
-
- I believe that when the mother's life conflicts with the fetus,
- then the mother's life should always take precedence.
