18. O.K. Try this bit of logic...
The right to life cannot be granted or denied by government, because it does not come from government. It comes from the creator of life.

O.K. Then, in the case of an individual fetus, who or what qualifies as "the creator of life?"

The answer seems obvious. That life was created by the man and woman who conceived the child. They, in fact, are the "creator(s) of life" in that specific case.

So, it would stand to reason that that man and that woman were the ones who granted that specific "right to life." Therefore, it would seem as if they also have the right to deny it. It would thus follow that the right of a man and woman to choose to abort a fetus they themselves created should not be "denied by government, because it did not come from government."

Just playing Devil's Advocate, here...
