It's not hypocritical to be pro-choice and still cry about dead soldiers in a stupid war. One is life that is being taken, and one is not a life so therefore cannot be taken.

That obviously brings it to that place where nobody ever budges on where exactly life starts and when an embryo/fetus/womb inhabiter earns its rights as a human being. But if you don't believe that it's a life in there, then it's not really a problem to advocate for safe and legal abortion while decrying the loss of life in a war.

my point was more towards the fact that our soldiers volunteer for their duty, and a fetus doesn't. yet they decry a volunteer losing that which he willingly gave.


but to clarify, i am pro-choice. but i think that it is a huge issue, and yet another that has plenty of shouting on both sides, with no real solution--like so many things, there is no pleasing everyone. or maybe anyone.
