Yes
Excuse me? A mother doesn't have rights to their own children? That's a first and paramount right before any other involvement from outsiders.
But was I raally raising my kids or was I 'farming them out' for someone else to take care of?

Huh!? Surrogate mothers have babies for couples that can't have kids of their own..
What you do with your kids is still ultimately within your decision barring any interference from society or it's memes.
But it's thier decision to do that with their own seed. They are not making that decision for anyone else's offspring.

Huh? What's your point ?
Isn't it obvious? The parent is exercising the right over their own seed or offspring.

And ? What bearing does that have on the topic in question ?
It's obviously a right until that choice is taken away from you.

Why did you vote privilege then
Because i think it should be a priviledge to raise children. the op didn't specify just pregnancy but 'having' which usually entails the whole gamut of raising and having full parental rights.
I think birth parents should have full rights to their children with the exception of cases of severe abuse. So though i believe it's a natural right, that right is negated when another human being is in harm's way. A child is still another person, not you.
You are unrealistic. Why would the op ask if it is a right to "have" children if it doesn't entail raisng them too? That's ridiculous, dontcha think?
