Abortion rights are pro-life.
They give a woman the right to control her own body, which is part of her right to her own freedom and life. An embryo, in contrast, is pre-human, only potential, not actual, life. As such, it cannot possess any rights. This week hundreds of anti-abortionists will demonstrate outside Buffalo's abortion clinics, bookstores and high schools. Today, no one is defending the right to abortion in fundamental terms, which is why the pro-abortion rights forces are on the defensive.
