Why? Why birth? What is the difference between conception, 24 weeks
gestation and birth or 3 months post birth. The child still can't do
anything for itself.

I'm of the opinion that it explicitly states that the rights it lists
are not the only rights that exist.

What an odd thing for you to say? How does that advance your argument in
this case?

Fact: parents are charge with exercising various rights on behalf of
their offspring.

Fact: it is a different times that those offspring are given those
rights to exercise for themselves.

The right to life is just the first that the child is given to exercise
for itself.
