I say yes.
As a matter of fact, I am going to go write my Congessman right now urging him to sponsor legislation making it legal for same-sex fetuses to marry, and share each others stem cells.

Someone who is pro-life is someone who is against abortion in any and all cases. They believe that a zygote has all the rights of a grown adult human, unless of course that adult is a pregnant woman, who has no right to decide what happens in her body.
Ironically, people who are pro-life are in favor of the death penalty and killing people in Iraq.

But the Bible isn't alone in declaring this truth. Science also declares that an unborn child is just as much an independent human being as you. The original human cell consists of 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. At no point during pregnancy does the mother contribute any new cells to the child. The original cell divides itself and multiplies to provide development and growth for the child. Scientifically speaking, the child is just as independent at six months before birth as he will be six months after birth. Yes, the mother does provide nourishment to the unborn child, but she also provides nourishment to the newborn child!
At two weeks pregnancy, the "fetus" can move alone. By four weeks the child has limbs, muscle tissue, a heart and heartbeat. Ears, eyes, and small hands are visible by the fifth week. The child responds to touch sensations by the sixth or seventh week. At eight weeks, the baby sometimes tries to take a breath when removed from the mother. At twelve weeks, the child will often struggle for life two or three hours when removed from the mother.
There are four basic types of abortion being performed in America today, while two more types may be added in the near future.
First, there's the suction type abortion. This is where the unborn child is literally vacuumed from the mother's womb during the early stages of pregnancy.
The currette-type abortion is where the child is cut from the mother's womb with a spoon-like object.
A third type is similar to a Caesarean operation. The baby is surgically removed from the mother and allowed to suffocate, because the child's lungs aren't developed.
The fourth type of abortion is the Salt Brine technique. With this method, the unborn child is literally "pickled" to death by the injection of a strong salt solution. A few days after the injection the child is still born.
There is currently much debate about partial-birth abortions. This is where a child is partially delivered, then stabbed in the skull to have his or her brains sucked out.
There is also much talk about the RU-486 abortion pill from France, also called "mifepristione" in America. This pill works by inhibiting pregnancy hormones, and is normally used within seven weeks from conception. At the present time, mifepristone is illegal in the U.S., but there is much political pressure to make it legal.
your sarcasm is not funny.

Unborn Children have the right to life.

Why are you worried about unborn children having rights? Are you planning to abort one?
They don't have a right forbidding that. A woman's right to murder them supercedes that.

Your pro-abortion argument is done no favors by employing such "logic."
I'm not in the pro-abortion camp, but if I were, I'd want to distance myself from your comments as far as possible.

a first trimester fetus is not a child. I can understand the religious belief that life begins at conception, but it's just that- a religious belief. From a scientific point of view, I don't think you can say that it is "alive."

Sure they do, they're pure and innocent. Unfortunately, too many idiots have too many rights that do nothing but annoy those of us who have brain cells.

A fetus that is viable; that is, capable of survival ouside of the womb, has rights. It's still a fetus, not a child.

the key word you used was "children". And yes, they have rights - it boggles the mind that people think they don't
