If you believe life is not precious and has no intrinsic value and is not God-given, we will be talking past each other. So maybe that framework should first be established.

I think the tragedy of abortion at its root is nothing more than homage to Moloch. I am not saying anybody is worshiping Moloch, we have been blinded for sure but abortion is a personal sacrifice no matter how you look at it.

Your belief on the subject boils down to belief in God.
Do you believe man is simply a glorified animal to be treated as such or a being made in the image of God that is distinct from the animal kingdom with natural rights?
