But I do agree with avoiding the killing of all life - it is precious from the moment of conception until death.
Conservative allies, must be reminded that even guilty life is precious.
Liberal adversaries must be reminded that even innocent life is precious.
You avoid the abortion question because you want to maintain your convenience. At this stage of your life, you’re trying to maintain other’s convenience over the right to life. Your motives are known only to you, but regardless, you do know better.
Human life is imbued with a soul at the moment of conception. It is there before brain development, human form development, and personality development. Human life is also imbued with a soul after mortal sin - even the intentional taking of a human life. That is why we must not take their lives and hope&pray that those who have done this - whether those pardoned for taking human life in prison or those who had or facilitated an elective abortion, or whatever other scenario where someone intentionally takes a life wrongly can seek forgiveness and salvation. St Paul did just that.
