Martin O'Malley - Every Life is Important

Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley Tweeted this today.  If every life is important and every life matters, then why is he pro-abortion?  Or does he not consider children in the womb to be alive?  Are they dead until they're born?  Do beating hearts not count?  I'm so confused.  Seems a bit hypocritical to me.  Only some lives are important.  Especially the lives that help him pass laws that are part of his agenda.  Unborn children do not fit the agenda.
