If doctors can't respect the right of bacteria to live, how can we expect them to respect our rights to live?

Clearly, the issue of abortion is further complicated than this trite rhetorical drivel. Not everyone thinks a fetus is a "life". Not everyone thinks it is entitled to the same rights as people who don't have to live in some other person's womb.
