Women have a right to privacy up to the point of fetal viability; at that point the child’s right to life trumps the woman’s right to privacy. Why is this so hard?

Prior to viability it is moral to kill the baby when it is a threat to the mother’s life or if the woman was raped, but it is wrong to end the baby’s life as a form of birth control; but since the woman still has a right to privacy it should be consdered a sin – not a crime. Killing a baby after viability is not just a sin, it is a crime.

The Supreme Court got the first half right, but they ignored the baby’s right to life and its primacy after the point of viability. Our legislature needs to set right what the Supreme Court missed.
