An unborn baby is a baby, a living baby, and no one has the right to end that life. By the time a woman finds out she is pregnant, the baby already has a heartbeat. Funny how a woman has a choice to end a life, but I don't have a choice as to whether or not I want to wear a seatbelt. Also, funny how if a person destroys the egg of an eagle, that person will be sent to jail. Is the eagle more important than a baby? You can argue that an unborn baby depends on the mother to survive, therefore is not an equal. But doesn't a newborn also depend on the mother to survive? If your argument is that the unborn child is not as important or equal to the mother, then all children are not equal to adults until they can sustain life on their own. One of the first executive orders made by Bush that Obama is going to overturn is for federally funded family planning clinics to offer abortion as an alternative to pregnancy. Right now, they have a gag order that they can't volunteer information concerning abortion. Already, the meaning of human life has diminished and he isn't even in office yet.

Here is my guess: in your thought system, you place greater or lesser value on life, even human life, most every day. To my knowledge, the human race is not an endangered species; however, the way the human race lives on this planet endangers the rest of the species. I am sure you value the existing human life around you by being against universal healthcare, against handgun control legislation, against programs designed to mitigate poverty. I am only guessing...and may be wrong. If you are suggesting that a woman be denied access to information that a human willed miscarriage is an available choice, then I disagree. A heartbeat exists in a flat EEG patient; that is not a debate ender... it may be for you, but that's another thing altogether.
