I suppose that if you believe that the right to life only kicks in at the moment of natural birth, not one day sooner, you might think that. Thankfully you're still an outlier on that subject.

All states already restrict the ability of one person to take the life of another previously born person except in cases of self defense or serious bodily harm. And, virtually all states use their existing legal systems to prosecute the death of a fetus at the hands of a domestic abuser or other criminal, although not in cases of abortion. Are you implying they should not, as according to you, that fetus doesn't deserve that protection?
