The right to life is "Thou shalt not kill" Liberty is the idea of free will, exercised by Adam and every man, woman, and child after that. And don't tell me that "Yeah, but they were punished for it," because of course they were. Freedom to choose does not mean you always make the right choice.
A right to life would mean that God wouldn't be able to choose who lives and who dies on his whims. "Thou shalt not kill" applies only to humans, and god takes life as he sees fit. In fact, the right to life is so sacred to God that he'll drown everyone on the planet except a few people when things don't go as he wants.
The concept of right to life is entirely antithetical to the god of the bible.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
