Impossible to say and a bit of a misrepresentation, since the 4 people who voted "yes" did so because they were taking your question out of the context you meant it in.
I can only speak for myself and the faith I follow, but one of our fundamental beliefs as Christians is that every single human being has inherent value assigned to us by God at the moment of conception, and ought to be treated as such. This is inherent value that we believe cannot be taken away regardless of anything, especially not something as trivial as the presence of absence of clothing.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
