Abortion is love

[Losty]

I disagree that we should strive to value all life as equal. Why do you value those you love over those you hate? Why do you value those you know over strangers? I think it's natural instinct. What drives you to protect your children from strangers? What drives you to defend your community against criminals? What about killing in self defense? What about defending your nation against an invading army? What about the police in a shoot out with a criminal who's trying to kill an innocent bystander? Do we want them to value both lives equally? If so, they'd likely not intervene because they won't shoot a criminal to save his/her victim. We should value some lives over others. It doesn't mean my life is worth more than someone else's, but it does mean that I value my life a little bit more. I'm not going to turn the other cheek and let someone kill me or a person I care about, I don't consider that to be some kind of admirable quality that I should strive for.
