Resolved: Abortion Laws violate Human Rights Law

I thank you for your insightful help in the debate world and for giving me a chance to test my skills. I put my sources in the comment area. I hope this first round entry is as interesting to read as yours was to me. When reviewing the context of laws one must understand there is a multiple views on how laws either violates or empowers individuals. I agree completely that religion and the state are not the main source of Human Rights. But I also do no believe that humans right "comes from" simply from people being born. Human rights come from human's either natural occurring or learnt moral and ethical beliefs. One may even call it the "soul" as its source. It is humanities ethical beliefs that makes us strive to implement rights for all man kind. It is your moral beliefs coming from the numerous social, independent, working,religious, love and family experiences that makes us humans strive to provide better standards for each other. If human rights were made 500 years ago, the right to and education (article 26 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights) would never have been added on as a human right. The right to practice your own religion in peace(article 18 in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights) would never have been acceptable in the majority of the world's zealous view. One must only read any history book about the religious persecution during the protestant reformation or the world history of public education to grasp that the above statements are true. Human rights were not created by being born. They are created by the collective opinions of individuals at a time granting what they believed was good should be available to all people. It is the human SPIRIT, that allows the masses to write down these laws, accept these laws and abide by them every day. A child born with defects still has the rights because humans accepted him as a human. A person in comatose is accepted as human not because he was supposed to have "reason and conscience". He is accepted as a Human because he was born, alive and fighting. He was given the privilege all humans have, The one of Life. An embryo or fetus is on the other hand not accepted as a fully functioning human. It has not been born yet and it is not considered human yet. To say that killing an embryo is violating human rights is to say that killing sperm every time someone has sex is a violation of human rights. An embryo simply a zygote(cell created from 2 parent's gametes) that has divided it self multiple times and has the good chance of becoming alive. It is just like the spermatozoa I mentioned, which also have a chance at becoming alive(though to be fair a far less chance if I say so myself). Should humanity be forced to make each and every sperm a living human being. Of course not, that would cause humanity to over populate and then die off as a species. This is the same for an embryo. It is not a living human being, so why should it receive human rights. It has no memories, no experience, it has even never had its first breath. It is a clump of cells that has as much potential as a sperm cell. Abortion is not violating human rights, it is saving it from overpopulation.
