Please explain more simply exactly what it is that you are saying.

To: Running On Empty

I thought what I wrote was particularly prosaic. Have another look at it. It does not disparage life, or the love of life. In fact, it elevates it.

To put it in Christian religious terms, the life and teachings of Jesus was extremely important, but His death was *essential* to Christians. The death of Jesus was the culmination of His life, even His greatest purpose for having had life in the first place.

All this points to the sanctity of the life of the unborn.

As precious as their lives are, even more precious is what their lives may become. And in those lives, and maybe even in the eventual end of those lives, will they, like Jesus, find the culmination of their purpose. But first they must, like Jesus, be born.
