Can you have a Right to something that you cannot
procure/sustain yourself?
Rights are actions/behaviors that one does not need Permission to act/behave.
Privileges are actions/behaviors that Require Permission to act/behave.
One might say a fetus has an assumed Privilege to a completed Pregnancy, but we run into a conundrum with WHO grants that Privilege/Permission. Can the mother rescind Consent/Permission? If so, at what point?
Can the Gov't grant permission/privilege to a woman's body? Can they then also deny it? If a woman is pregnant, does the Gov't own her body and decisions? If the Gov't owns/controls the Mother, then they sure as Hades own the baby.
Perhaps when the Life is viable without the aid of the Mother? As you point out with the First trimester, but I'd think it would be later for viability.
