When people who tell me about their "right" to choose, I often ask them, "What about the child's rights?" I have never heard a response that didn't attack me as a ist or diverted the focus of the question. Would someone answer this question.

Yes, what about the child's right? What about the child's right to be born into a loving home where it is wanted? People who are anti abortion seem to lose all interest in what happens to the unwanted child after it's born. No child should be born to a family that does not want it, and it is cruel to even allow that to happen, IMO.
I was put up for adoption but as to the arguement of "What if your mother had felt that way", well, then I'd not be having conversation now, would I? And, I wouldn't care either. You can't kill a soul, only a physical form. If there is a God and he intends for an individual to be born, why would you think an abortion would thwart the plan? It'd just be born to someone else, that wanted it.

If you think about this question, one side says that it is a "child" and the other side says its not.
Ponder this, a "growing" fetus inside a mother's body, it cannot make a decision or talk. The controlling factor for this is the mother's body for which she is the "growing" fetus' "host.
If a woman so chooses to have an abortion, she has only ONE person to answer, and that person is her "god" and she will do this answering when she meets her maker in then end of her life. No religious group or government has the right to step into this. It's a personal decision.

You mean when women tell you of their right to choose, not people. Men cannot really understand this topic fully as they cannot suffer the consequences of an unwanted, damaged or medically dangerous pregnancy. To you it is just a debate with no real effect on your life.
Legally the child does not exist, it is not a fully formed human,so what rights are you talking about? And are you debating this from a christian theologists viewpoint? Many religions do not take the same view about these "rights". In fact many religions state that until the fetus/child is able to live by itself, separate from the mother/woman that it is drawing energy from , it does not technically exist.

Up until seven weeks, the organs aren't even functioning. I'm not sure how to defend the rights of a collection of cells. Should we negate the rights of the individual presently able to make a logical arguement, and know the affect the situation will have, to place the focus on an unconcious being? Until I can say that I will take care of the child that this woman feels she cannot, I will not place higher importance on the rights of the cells.

A child has the right to be loved by its mother. Therefore, it's morally wrong to give birth to a child you don't want. How would you feel if your mother had seriously considered aborting you, then changed her mind just because someone told her it was wrong?

EXACTLY!
The child is a life once it's been conceived. People just think of themselves in a situation like this. It's selfish and a lack of respect for oneself and the respect for life as a whole.
I'm no agains't abortion. I agree with you, and wish other's would look at your question and think real hard!
Thanks for the lovely question!

everybody has they're own thoughts on abortion rights. i feel it's the mother's right because she is carrying that child. you do have a good point about the child's right. there are so many ways to argue abortion , this could go on for years. there is no reason to get upset about it.

The reason nobody answers that is because it they still see it as being debated when it becomes a baby, not just a sperm and egg. Sperm and eggs have no rights.
I'm not trying to defend a position or fight one. I'm just telling you the main argument I've found in politics.

You are not DISHONESTLY telling a seperate free citizen what is a "child" and what is not.
Am I on point,and on to you,or what?
What about the rights of christians to burn people at the stakes for heresy? They claim the God TOLD them to do it.
(silence from Tom)
What about the rights of fruits and vegetables not to get eaten?
What about the rights of tumours,living beings one and all, not to get cut out and deny them life?
Since when do conservatives disagree with an adults right to cut and chop as they damn well please?
Since when Tom?
