Let's allow women to CHOOSE to endanger the welfare of their unborn and birthed child/children, because it's THEIR choice, after all. They will not be punished in the least, because of their FREE CHOICE...

At least you got that part right. Here's where you go terribly wrong.....again.

Well hell then: why have any laws at all? Let people who feel it's their "right" to kill someone go ahead and do it...no questions asked, no punishment. Feel you have the right to steal, rob, cheat, drink and drive, destroy property...why not? Hey, you don't like that person because of their color? Beat 'em down, do it all! After all, it's your RIGHT!

A fetus is not a person and is not entitled to rights. If you abort a fetus or otherwise make a decision regarding
YOUR OWN body which results in the fetus not continuing it's journy toward becoming a person, you are not committing a crime because a crime only occurs when you have violated the
RIGHTS of another person.
When you rob, cheat, drink and drive, destroy property, commit acts of violence
(your motives don't matter so whether or not you did it for race is irrelevant), etc, you are actually violating the
RIGHTS (those things a fetus doesn't have but a born baby does have) of non-consenting
PERSONS.
Try to get it through your head. Repeat this phrase over and over. A FETUS IS NOT A PERSON...A FETUS IS NOT A PERSON...A FETUS IS NOT A PERSON.

The parent/offspring relationship is a little more complex than just calling the offspring a parasite on its host.

Perhaps, but that sort of a relationship doesn't begin until after the birth has taken place. You mention that fact that if all fetus were removed and aborted our species would cease to exist. This is irrelevant. The fact is that during the time that the fetus is in the womb it is a parasite. Removing it during this period is no more a murder than would be removing a tumor.
