Life is sacred, yes. Not in a religious sort of way, but in the sense that all life has value. However up until a certain point in the pregnancy, like WolfpackN64 said, the fetus isn't really alive. Only very few (if any) extremist pro-abortionists will say that abortion is okay all the way up until birth. In Norway, you have free choice until week 12, and anything later than that and you have to apply. If it's later than 18 weeks, it's unlikely that you will get permission, unless there are special circumstances.

So you don't have to answer the question "is life sacred". The real question is "when is a fetus alive".
