However, is not all life sacred? Did God not want us to live lives without causing harm to one another?<BR/><BR/>The Republican party has consistently championed war, killing even more people in the last 7 years than abortion has since Roe v. Wade was passed. Why is this life not equally as sacred? Why are we not championing for the end of this senseless killing as well?<BR/><BR/>-------<BR/>Logic 101<BR/><BR/>War is the killing of another human being.<BR/><BR/>Killing a human being is wrong.<BR/><BR/>War is wrong. <BR/>--------<BR/><BR/>The next step the pro-life movements need to take is in the denouncement of this war, and all senseless wars. While the Republicans are pro-life and pro-war, and the Democrats are pro-choice and anti-war, why must we side with one? Why can we not follow our judgments and try to save as much life as possible? In times of peace, vote the Republican side who can help us attain our goals, in this time of pointless war, vote Democrat to save the lives of the innocent (both on our side, and on the other side). Why can we not help each other out, and try to do the most good possible, preserving the most life?<BR/><BR/>http://www.prosebeforehos.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/deathsinmiddleeast.gif<BR/><BR/>That chart shows the innocent casualties lost in the pursuit of senseless war, what it does not show, however, are the reported suicides from our side in combat, which are estimated to be on par, or exceed the total number killed in combat.<BR/><BR/>-----<BR/>While I support the right to life, I cannot support a party so hypocritical in its morals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14909470248454562735noreply@blogger.com
