Dr. Ruth Fletcher:

The way I would phrase it, and other countries have done this, which is one of the points I have been trying to make in my work for a while, is that we see there is value in prenatal life. There is an objective value in that life in that it has potentiality to go on and become a person and because we as human beings invest in the significance of that life and the work of reproduction is an important social role. Therefore, yes, I do think it has value but I do not think we need to translate that value into positive rights in the same way-----
