Yes, that is what the same logic would dictate.

However, I sense that this "right" would follow the same handbook as the "right-to-life" crowd who defend the rights of the fetus...but then lose complete interest once that fetus turns into a child who needs food, shelter and education.

Well said!

And for further irony, when they are eligible to vote, the Right is suddenly interested in them again. Or at least for one day every two years.
