You have no right to be alive. You should realize that of course, but maybe you have not thought about it. Theoretically, after you were born you then somehow gained that right, but people are working at limiting that. The idea is to put it somewhere between 1 week and 1 year, though honestly I don't know why those specific ages should matter. I guess you could make an argument for 18. After all, once you reach that age you are no longer under your parents legally.
I'm talking about abortion, of course, the single most sickening legal practice I have heard about in America. Under such laws you nor I have no real right to be here, our mere existence is at the whim of our parents. Why, once abortion is accepted, we make such arbitrary inferences of where we can end that life. Why is birth the limit? After all, birth can easily vary across a 4 week span of time, and even more so and still survive with limited assistance. So why cut off birth? Seems reasonable to move it to 1 week, 1 year, or heck anyone who has teenagers would tell us 17 is prime age to do away with our children. There seems to me to be no reason there should be a distinction across those ages. And it sickens me.
