I am a pro-life atheist

[Whateverist]

The one species with a say in the outcome is so enraptured with the preciousness of each and every additional human being that it would allow every other creature to go extinct to make room for ever more people. How is the principle that each and every life is precious .. but only so long as it is human? Sure we're human but we are also animal. To put humans on a pedestal is a holdover from the Christian frame of mind which makes all the rest of the world under our dominion. The truth is that the web of life is mutually dependent. We have dominion over nothing, but we have the means to cut that web down with us in it. We shouldn't do it.
