Because the mother is a conscious being while the fetus is not.

Old people who suffer from dementia get their rights removed because they are no longer in a position where they can make reasonable decisions for themselves. In such cases, it's usually a family member of theirs that gets to make the important decisions and sign documents in their name.

Does this mean that humanity discriminates people based on their lack of consciousness? Perhaps, but it's for the best that decisions are made by people who grasp the concepts of cause and effect, and who are aware of the consequences that any decision may entail.

Do you have children?.

If that's required for you to take one's opinion on this I have a three year old child and I don't find fault with Rol's reasoning.
