Life always matters, but there is a hierarchy built inside of all of us, instilled inside of us. Preservation of mankind is greater than other species for most people, and if you see a fetus as a potential person, who wouldn't fight to save it? Those who don't see it as a person.
I was questioning his logic. He said that since we kill animals and other living things, then killing this potential human is the same thing and should be treated the same as lets say, killing a chicken. But we all know that a human life is worth more in our society than a chickens.

Wolves and every other kind of animal values the lives of their own species more than they value human life. Does that mean since the majority of species think that our lives are less valuable than the lives of the rest of their species that our lives are less valuable?
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
