The pro-life mindset I can actually fully wrap my head around, as twisted as it is, because a not-so-insignificant part of me does think that life begins at conception. I just think that legalized abortion is the safest method for all people and potential people.
Well, the moment of conception is important for any individual, as it greatly increases the probability of that individual's successful birth. So, arguably, conception was the most important event in my life! But in doing so my conception denied the life of another human, one most probably better than myself.
As for immigration, I'd let everyone in. And if we need to make space, we could deport all the people who've lived at everyone else's expense to those horror-stricken, despairing places!
