Risking the tin-foil hat club, you can argue devaluing life is already very active in the pro-choice movement couched in female rights.
Not to go full tilt political, but interesting to consider.
However, I still politicians are not necessarily that forward thinking, but always just looking for hot buttons to secure short term votes to keep themselves alive. (pun intended)
