anyone else here not pro life for the sake of being pro life?

[Optimistic Mysanthrope]

But that wasn't your objection. You didn't question the assertion, you questioned his right to make that assertion.

That wasn't the goal post you just set one post back.

Only because we were getting away from the original point

However in this case, Given the provenance of the assertion, I can not feel even the faintest glimmer of respect for his theatrically emphatic claim to being taken seriously.

I feel a claim should stand or fall based on its own merit, rather than that of the person making the claim.

The claim that life has an intrinsic value, undiminished by circumstance, shouldn't be taken seriously? Really?

It's debatable.

Your handle includes one perception of (human) life that would reject notions of positive value or worth, no?

I do not have to like something in order to recognise that it has value :p
