A counter-argument to pro-lifers:

To those pro-lifers who focus on h assertion, “Life is sacred.” I say the following. You also say that God created all life. Therefore, all creations of God are sacred, not just human life. are sacred.

Realities of biological life show problems with that reasoning. All up and down the chain of life, from microbes to humans, organisms kill and eat other organisms in order to survive and reproduce. Some organisms, particularly some mammals, kill others so as to achieve or maintain social and/or mating status. Some mammals even kill their offspring from an urge to to bring their mate back into osterias. Humans kill each other in war, out of anger, and even for no reason.

This does not present an image of sacredness of life. And one cannot dismiss this fact by saying that it is simply part of God’s plan. Either all life is sacred, or it is not. Therefore, I say to those who assert that human life is scared, the evidence of life ad reality indicates you cannot say that human life is sacred or that Gold intended it to be so with evidence or logic. I do agree that we should not senselessly kill any organism or take any action which would increase the likelihood that an organism would die without reason or which withholds care ad sustenance necessary to maintain life.
