How can I refute the argument of pro-abortion family members who say: ‘‘Every child has a right to be born wanted’’ – meaning that its okay to abort ‘‘non-wanted’’ babies?
Every child does have a right to be born “wanted” by the parents who created him or her. But that does not mean that parents who do not want that child thereby have the right to murder that child. Someone who takes the stand of your relatives could thereby argue for the murder of any “unwanted” human beings, born or unborn.
