A fetus has a right to be cared for by his mom

Faye Sonier:

Borovoy’s comparison is not morally relevant. He takes a stranger-to-stranger relationship to rationalize lethal force in a mother-to-child relationship. A child is not a stranger, trespassing onto a foreign property, to seek sanctuary from another stranger. The human life in the womb is the child of its pregnant mother. The child is not seeking safety in a foreign environment. Rather, its life was brought forth by its parents and it is growing in its natural environment. This is the only environment that the child can grow in. Granted, some will cry foul as there are rare exceptions to some of these statements, but for brevity’s sake those considerations will be left to others.
