6. All lines are more or less arbitrary. I'm not an absolutist myself, but
I understand the logic of an honest absolutist pro-life positions: There are not lines and no exceptions for any life. Let us begin by being honest about that, and then clearly definine and labelling for discource the forms of exception that many many of us are making every day and the various purposes of those exceptions placed on the value of any Life. Let's begin there, then we can speak the truth about us. The questions are really about WHO makes the exceptions and how they make them (i.e. through fascism or through individuals accepting the responsibilities, moral and functional, for their own lives).
