Yes. All sorts of things like this that ignore human intrinsic value and rights.

Abortion is a prime example.

I presume the point was that, as a fetus is genetically human, treating it as something to be killed at our convenience is an example of the problem ("arbitrary treatment of fellow humans", rather than recognizing that "human beings have intrinsic rights which exist and are not simply concessions of the state").
