Legally they aren't humans, and hence have no rights, until birth.

"Human" isn't a legal term, and it pre-dates modern laws entirely. It simply refers to a member of the homo species.

And who determines whether or not the unborn have rights? Rights are given by god, not some legislature.

> Rights are given by god

Whose god? Allah? Buddha?

No, rights are natural, books with legends and stories have nothing to do with it, but their legal framework is provided by legislatures.
