No, this bill itself does not alter current abortion rights, but it will lead us down that road. As Rep. Nita Lowey points out, it would be the first time in federal law that a fetus would be recognized as having the same rights as the born. To me, that obviously sets the stage for future challenges to abortion rights. Yeah, we could wait until those challenges and complain then, but at that point what would be left to say? If we have one bill that gives the same right to a fetus as the born, then why should there be abortion?? I guess my point is that I don't believe that a fetus should have those rights...I don't look at a fetus as a human being. Of course that's just me, and that's coming from a non-religious person.
