I agree life is important. But we as a society do a lot of killing. Whether it's animals for their products. Letting homeless people die because we don't give them housing. We don't support social programs that result in deaths and very poor living conditions. War. Slave children mining cobalt for my computer so I can play games.
Do you consider all this loss of life equal? Or are unborn humans special to you? Does quality of life factor into your morality?
Unborn humans are just humans and all are equally important on my moral compass. Child trafficking/rape is another huge issue I'm passionate about, I think the unborn amd the weak/defenseless resonate stronger with me because I put myself in their "shoes" and being unable to save themselves is such a horrible position to find yourself.
Our society does a lot of killing and I hate war mongering from all political parties, 90% of it is oil wars or political maneuvering/posturing. In a perfect world we wouldn't have the issues you mention but unfortunately our world is chaos and I believe we are in a spiritual war, if you are not religious then a war of good vs. evil should still resonate. I can agree on all topics that our government and citizens need to do better, homelessness is rampant, veterans have no support or funding coming back from war, living conditions especially of children in inner cities, etc...but we can't let the existence of other problems blind us to another.
