We accept that children's rights are held in trust by their parents, and as a society, we've come to believe that the right to life is one that the the mother holds in trust until the child is born. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg>

A parent can decide that they will move self and child across the country and if the child doesn't like it, confine the child to his or her room. But if a third party does that, it's called kidnapping. What's the difference in that case? > > I guess it is ok to kill unborn children because they cannot speak for > themselves. Precisely. Until they are born, parents hold the right to life of their offspring in trust. *They* get to decide and not the child. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg>

While they are invading, defending oneself is allowed.
