It’s funny how your Islamic defense of the “pro-life” position commits the same fallacy I expose in the article. You say that in Islam “life is sacred,” and then you quote the Quran as talking about the importance of “children.” So you’re conflating life in the basic biological sense that would be relevant to embryos and early fetuses (as well as to plants and insects) with “children,” as in fully-grown human, personal life.

Likewise, you quote scripture as saying that whoever “kills a person” will be punished, and then you switch to saying that this passage shows “the gravity of taking an innocent life.” Do you understand the difference between personhood and organic life in general? I clarify that difference in the article, but you don’t seem to have grasped the point.

Also, how could every life from the moment of conception be a gift from God if some embryos are naturally aborted?
