It's not so much that I don't understand the difference you're drawing. It's that I don't agree with your essential belief that the inherent value of a life can be lost. I've been through all kinds of shit with the pro-abortion crowd on this too. Life has inherent and inalienable value by mere virtue of being alive. You can't increase the value of your life over that of someone else's. You can't lose the value of your life. Mine will never be more or less valuable or worthy of protection that yours. Supposedly our country was partially founded on this idea of an inalienable right to life, though that isn't now and has never been the case in practice.Difference is that the murderer has proven him/herself as worthless. The innocent unborn baby has done nothing.
That you don't see the difference is obvious.
Never said I could increase the value of my life over someone else's. My argument is that by their actions, people can lessen the value of their own.
While people have the right to life, when they make choices that go against what being alive involves in the way of personal responsibility, that give up that right by the actions they voluntarily chose to take.
