I dont know if this was covered.

But, i wanted to discuss prolife and pro-war.

Whats the break in considering the philosophy that life is precious, versus death as a burden of war - where babies, children, and innocent mothers (many pregnant) are killed.

How could you maintain the passion for life while supporting war where you know the inevitibilty dictates innocent life ends?

In consideration of comment that says War is a neccessary evil, so too is abortion. In abortions circumstance, the mother is at a war of her own where she must defeat the enemy of excess burden much the same way governments must defeat the enemy of war.

I see not much difference in the value of war over the value of abortion. They both involve an unwanted result and so the position is to prevent the unwanted result.

Abortion as a form of birth control and war are apples and oranges. First of all both are extremely complex issues. Both can be for different reasons which does have relevance on whether or not they are justified.

A war can be to free an oppressed people, it can be for a good and just humanitarian cause, or it can to be to fatten the pockets of a minority. An abortion can be the result of a rape or health issue, or it can be an easy way out to someones poor decisions. Both decisions are life and death issues.

War and abortions do have a few things in common. They both result in the death of beautiful life. They both are often the wrong decision and done for the wrong reasons. They both should be strictly last resort.

Those are all good observations, Amer.

I agree that there are many conduits to the results in each circumstance.

The similarity is what i'm focused on.

It acknowledges that women do not exactly have it easy in deciding on abortion like many seem to assert.

maybe not but women are not what I am concerned primarily about. I am concerned for the baby inside her. so if that makes me steenmysoginist (note the one word) then so be it. I'd rahter be a "steenmysogonist" than a murderur.
