The reason I asked was that in another thread, and in most abortion rights discussion, anti-choice people treat a pre-born "whatever" as though it had rights and privileges.

No fetal citizenship, even before 1973.

14th amendment -- All persons born or naturalized in the United States... etc.

"Naturalized" refers to immigrants.


It's a complete indirection from any issues regarding abortion.

Maybe they are referring to natural rights and privileges normally given another human being as opposed to the rights of being a US citizen?

I don't agree it's a human or citizen before birth, but just sayin'.
