People of good faith and conscience can disagree and have a full and complete understanding of the issue at hand. Thanks for the comment.

Conferring human rights at the moment of conception would overwhelm the police, courts, insurance providers, jails, and coroners. Almost 50% of conceptions are spontaneously aborted, that's 36,000 additional deaths each year that would have to be investigated to ensure no one was killed. You're also talking forced pregnancy tests to ensure we account for all the microscopic human lives and their human rights. This is what you're proposing. At each spontaneous abortion, police would need to be called. Sometimes this is going to happen in the doctor's office. The poor woman would go in for discomfort and find she had aborted in the toilet the night before. Of course she bled and flushed so was she trying to hide evidence of murder by flushing? The courts would need to determine that because someone had died. Or perhaps you would like the woman to have to call police every time she bled just in case she aborted. Police would need to be equipped with special devices to detect fetal matter in toilets and on sheets…. New laws would need to be created. If the woman didn't know she was pregnant and engaged in dangerous activities it would be involuntary manslaughter or negligent homicide. New prisons would need to be created to hold these baby killers as people would be hard pressed to put a woman who has lost her baby in with the general population. You and McCain are going to raise everyone's taxes for that? Malpractice insurance will need a whole new section. Suppose the doctor doesn't give the pregnant woman complete instructions on how to handle her pregnancy. The police arrest her after her spontaneous abortion and she claims she was never told that something like exercise walking would be harmful to the baby. Then the doctor is arrested or sued for malpractice. Maybe it will become too risky and expensive to have a maternity room or to doctor pregnant women and that service will need to be provided by the state. Or maybe your idea is even worse. Maybe you want to selectively enforce the laws on human rights and only prosecute baby killers who meet your profile. I'm sure you and McCain haven't thought through your position since you are conferring rights without any clue whatsoever as to what it would take to enforce those rights. Yet another half baked plan that sounds good to the head bobbling portion of the population. Aren't I a good person, I've conferred human rights on babies from the moment of conception. It's up to everyone else to determine what that actually means and handle the mess I created and pay for it. Next time actually think your position through.
