What I'm saying is I don't understand the disconnect that abortion is wrong, but killing your enemy is right if one truly believes in the sanctity of life. This isn't a personal swipe at you. If I offended you I apologize. I'm saying at can't reconcile those two ideas inside of my own head I when contemplate a Creator and what he expects of us.
I can't speak for bfine, but my personal opinion would be that a soldier kills to protect himself, his fellow soldiers, and, in the end, innocent people that the person he killed would kill, so he is protecting the sanctity of life. A unborn child is innocent and has the potential to live a full and happy life, as well as bring happiness to others and at least help in bringing another human being into the world.
Lord knows that I'm not a big enough bad-ass to be a soldier, but that would be my outlook on it.
Now, if a baby had a gun inside the mother and was going to shoot the hell out of her insides and kill her, then I'd agree with you.
