Taking it all the way would be view to male masturbation (or the spilling of seed, as it were) as also disrespect for the sanctity of human life.
I guess the point is that we all set our own "dividing lines" where we see fit.

I am aware that Catholics oppose birth control. But the notion that all or even most pro-lifers are against abortion because of the "playing God" angle is absolutely false.
You can make a perfectly logical argument against abortion and for the rights of an unborn child without bringing religious beliefs into the discussion at all.
