This is important when considering abortion because, and I know you will all hate this, attachment to human life (or the idea of human life) is an irrational one. That is not to say that someone is stupid for valuing another life, or that the attachment to it is not real. What is meant is that the attachment itself, the feeling of love or identity or connection, is not one that is established by reason.

Really? My attachment to my pet rock is as equally (in)valid as my attachment to my wife? Reason has NOTHING to do with it?
To allude to someone you probably loathe, would you just as happily sleep on a bed of nails as on a BeautyRest? No rational reason to distinguish between them?
