What criterion is to be used to determine if and when a fetus conceived in the United States is afforded the rights of a United States citizen?
If a fetus is granted Constitutional rights then all kinds of awkward problems occur.
For instance if a pregnant woman were to commit an act of terrorism that killed hundreds of people would the rights of the innocent fetus to not be detained since it had committed no crime override that of the pregnant woman concerned? If the fetus has no rights in that instance then where is the line drawn? It has a right to Life but not Liberty?
