He says it vulgarly, but he he points us in the right direction:
Life is important because it's the only thing that we, as humans, will always have, up until the point where we die. It's the only thing that's able to sustain us, and bring us to joyful moments like your first kiss. The first time you had sex. Your first concert. The birth of your first child. That first puff of a joint that gets handed to you at a party.
It's all life, and it's so wonderful that words almost can't explain it.

McPhee at Children Living, Please does it once again. He goes to show that you do not need to be religious to be pro-life.
What McPhee has implied is that many pro-aborts lack is WONDER-- the ability to see the transcendant. Wonder is essential to live a fulfilling life. If everything to you is a bunch of chemicals, a series of molecular movements, without meaning or elevation, then your life will not be fulfilling. You also cannot reason properly. How can you think if you don't wonder? If life is not a mystery, something great to be discovered-- not necessarily something to be explained-- then there's no point. It's all about eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom. There's no point in inquiring. There's nothing to inquire about-- it's all a bunch of molecules moving, and whether the reason for this is X,Y or Z, makes no difference. You can't reason if the answer is irrelevant. You might as well make it up-- which is what moral relatvism does.
The lack of wonder gets translated into complete disregard for the unborn child. There is no wonder about the unborn child. He's a parasite, a tapeworm, an exchange of chemicals. There's nothing about him.
I suspect that maybe that's one reason that pro-aborts can't make the logical connection that the pre-natal self and the post-natal self is the same thing. The post-natal self-- well, that's something to wonder at. The pre-natal self? He's a nothing. His life has no meaning. He's a little snot.
This is why many cannot love unborn children. They cannot wonder at him.
But the wonder at the unborn child, I think this will be one thing that will save him. Most people are in awe of him. They just need to know what that awe really means-- that he's worth saving.
