No, actually.


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.

The document is very clear that there are rights in doesn't enumerate.

You don't seriously disagree with this, do you?

Parents hold their offsprings rights in trust. 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?

Precisely. Until they are born, parents hold the right to life of their
offspring in trust. *They* get to decide and not the child.

How so?

While they are invading, defending oneself is allowed. Once they are
captured, they are afforded due process of law.

Allowing them due process of law is a far cry from giving them all the
rights that accrue to U.S. citizens.
