That is actually the point I was trying to make, but did not do a very good job. But I believe that leaving religion out of the debate leads me to inescapable conclusion that the unborn deserves protection from the state. This is based on the same kind of reasoning that leads to laws protecting infants from abusive parents as well as just plain old murder.
Throughout history, life was thought to begin at birth because that is all we could really know or understand. Now we have the technology to know better. We really do know better. But for political and social reasons we ignore it.
