Still Henry,
every group has a different angle. the sanctity of life is not a
disability related concept. As i said disabled people can believe in
sanctity of life but that has nothing to do with their disability.
the same that women aboriginals can do so but again it is not related to
being a women or being an aboriginal. But their are specific arguments
related to marginalized groups which others can't use.
Cheers
Gregor
