Does anyone need to speak for a foetus?

Depending on the stage of pregnancy the unborn may be capable of both. If it is in the first few weeks, that child still has a right to a future. Where is the line drawn? Do the defenseless or voiceless lose the right to determine their future? Why should someone else have the right to snuff out their life?
Well I suppose you could take the same attitude to anyone who is unable to fight back. And you are assuming the unborn child doesn't feel anything or is aware of anything. Calling it a foetus might dehumanise it for you, to me it is a human life that should be treated with dignity and respect. There is a battle in the US for abortionists to be able to kill babies that survive the abortion procedure. Where is the line for you fungus? A beating heart at 6 weeks doesn't seem to bother you. At what point do you have the right to kill it?
24 weeks is when it can feel pain (though not a fully developed sense of it).
I do sympathise with sentient creatures like real humans and animals. Live animal exports is not ok.
Going off track and talking about babies. Not a good sign is it :p
