right to life
Pro-birth legal claim
Right to life is the principle that every human being has an inherent entitlement to live and not be killed.
In political discourse, it typically refers to opposition to abortion, framing the fetus as having rights from conception: right-to-life activists, the right-to-life movement.
The phrase also appears in human rights contexts regarding capital punishment and extrajudicial killing.
