Dr. Mildred Jefferson was a physician and a political activist. She didn 't believe that abortions should by legalized and she fought for it. She once said, “The fight for the right of life is not the cause of a special few but the cause of every man, woman, and child who cares not only about his or her own family, but the whole family of man” (Bair). According to Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, unborn fetuses have the right to life, liberty, and justice, but abortion takes away those rights (Appendix A: Universal Declaration of Human Rights).

Because the baby has a beating heart, the child is considered alive, so it has rights as a human. In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 3 states that everyone has a right to life and anyone with a beating heart or is breathing is considered a human.

Dr. Stephan Schwarz, a Rhode Island University philosophy teacher, states, “Abortion is a civil rights issue just like racial justice for blacks, or equal treatment for the handicapped and all minorities” (Haven Bradford Gow). The phrase “equal treatment “ shows that everyone should have the same basic rights and that means fetuses too. Babies shouldn’t have to fight for their rights because it’s suppose to be given to them when they were conceived. What would you do if something that meant a lot to you was taken away and you couldn 't do anything to get it
