Comparing an unborn child to bacterial infection is pretty much the rallying cry for Pro-choice. I can feel for a young girl who thinks she has no other choice but to abort her child; however, I find the "it's the same as bacteria"  approach to be totally without class or reason.

You were a Cav Scout, right?  A job which could require you to kill another human.  Why is it okay for you to kill, but abortion should be outlawed?  And before you start, this isn't an attempt at a "gotcha," it is a serious question.

When I engage(d) in combat operations it was either because I was attacked first or in retaliation to an atrocity.  In either case those far above my pay-grade determined in was in the best interest on my Nation and the lives of innocent people. We have Rules of Engagement and we err on the side of caution. I never engaged with (much less murder) anyone simply because they were an inconvenience. 

The comparison of brave men and women that put their lives on the line to defend our Nation, our allies, and our interests to someone that kills an innocent, healthy child is only trumped in classlessness by those that compare the child to bacteria or a parasite.
