Gee, it sounds like something males in power might make up to keep women in their place..... naaah
If the equality of all lives is given inherently or from an outside source then this doesn't invalidate the "all lives equal" argument. If all persons have essential and intrinsic worth despite the values WE place on ourselves and others, then it still stands that all are equal.
But the argument that all lives are equal is used to justify endangering a person's life needlessly, like in the case of the baby having a microscopic chance of survival and the mother a high chance of dying.
Besides, your god lets fetuses die. I don't think he cares much about the value of life.
