Why do conservatives think that life has inherent value?

This is false. Nothing has "inherent" value because nothing is objective. Everything is ultimately a subjective, relative opinion rooted in culture. The only value life may have is that assigned to it by the local culture, which typically occurs through the decisions of its government. A particular life has "value" because the government decides that it does and enforces that decision with the legal system. This is why killing and murder are two different things. All murder is killing, but not all killing is murder. Non-murderous killing is the killing of a legally unprotected life, which is morally neutral at worst because the state has not seen fit to declare that life worthy of protection. There are times when killing is the morally upright thing to do, such as in the case of an intruder into your body or home. You have the right to self defense, whether against an unwanted and hence valueless fetus or an unwanted and hence valueless guest.


All of life is precious each and everyone.
To think your way is what has caused Millions to be murdered by killing the non producers.
Even non producers have something to contribute.
