I believe a fetus is a human life, with a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I believe a pregnant woman is a member of the polity, with a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

When a woman wants to end her pregnancy, we have a case of competing rights. I believe that the rights of an actual member of the polity trump those of a potential member of the polity. This is why I believe in murder charges for drunk drivers who kill fetuses, yet still believe women have a right to abort.
The abortion should come with free sterilization, that way both parties have skin in the game.
