Is abortion (if done for reasons other than saving the mother's life or the premature death of the child) wrong?
< It depends on whether a fetus is a person.
Once a fetus is considered a person, killing a person without due cause is clearly wrong.

>> No, if we value woman's rights over fetus' rights.
Granting a fetus rights means a woman's body is the ward of the state. She no longer has rights -- the fetus does. You can't protect fetal rights unless you disregard women's rights.
If fetuses are given more rights than adult women other worrisome repercussions are not far along. Pregnant women who smoke, have a glass of wine, do not visit their doctor or do anything deemed inappropriate can be arrested. Their body becomes a weapon and their lives enslaved. A woman's body is not her own.

< STRONG But your argument has nothing to do with comparing the right to life of women to the right to life life of a fetus inside a woman.
All you are comparing is the right to convenience of a woman versus the right to life of a fetus, and that's just wrong... your argument collapses.
