    Bullshit. You can’t deem life “sacred” for fetuses while completely ignoring the existing lives that are snuffed out, violated, exploited, etc. How can life be sacred at birth without life as a whole being sacred as a prerequisite?

    And yet, we ignore the fact that there are children who literally don’t get to eat food every day in a country that calls itself the greatest on earth… Children who can’t access healthcare, children who die in shootings, children who die because people won’t vaccinate their own kids, children who commit suicide feeling they can’t be accepted. Are their lives no longer sacred, now that they’ve emerged from the womb?

    If potential life is being considered as sacred, then existing life must first be considered sacred.

      One does not preclude the other. Human life is sacred from conception to death.

      Who said all human life was not sacred? Who said I dont care about all of those things?
