The Great Baby Rights Movement of Early 21st Century

One after another, human rights movements have swept through our nation. But, perhaps one has yet to be touched.

Baby rights.

Babies have rights, too, you know. And, while others can pull out their picket signs and march for their rights, while others can call up news stations and issue press releases, while others can scream and cry and protest, babies cannot.

Well, I guess babies can scream and cry, but nobody would know if they were crying for their civil rights.

Now, I ask you, do we short-change babies their rights? Do we abort them before they are born? Do they suffer physical abuse, and even sexual abuse? Are they neglected, and left to grow up feeling unwanted?

It happens.

And, do babies deserve to be treated better? Surely, they do.

So, what would be so wrong with a civil rights movement for babies?
