People who wonder if the glass is half empty or full miss the point. The glass is refillable.
and over 4,000,000 American infants were murdered before they were born under the horrific guise of Pro-Choice. No choice about killing a baby, but a soldier who volunteered had a choice to decide thier mortality.
Let's see:
Replublicans led Deaths: 2,800+
Democrat led deaths: 4,000,000+
It's so absurd most of you cannot see the sickness within the Abortion laws and usurped morality within. And it has ZERO to do with Religion, it's pure ethics and morality.
Activity + Opportunity = Success
Sorry--there's no comparison between aborted fetuses, zygotes or embryos which could have been the result of rape or ignorance, and grown people who have been killed for someone's political gain. These soldiers who have died or been terribly maimed have had a lot invested in them, commitment, time, education, money, and mostly care and love. They are people who have evolved and matured with a lot of effort.
Every person represents a universe of experiences. No one has the right to rob them in such a cavalier way.

I was talking about Political Values. One (Iraq) represents GOP values and the other (Abortion) represents DNC values. In both cases women had the right to choose, and so did the soldier have the right to volunteer knowing full well death is possible.
You sir were a fetus, zygote and embryos at one time, but you got REALLY lucky and a nice lady decided you were more than a blob and that you may have been a mistake, creation of rape and so on....
I think your cavalier attitude towards abortions and it's destruction of human life is unfortunately common, yet sinister and very dark.
BTW - less than 1% of abortions are from rape victims. Not even significant enough to say so.
AND WERE YOU PLANNED? I doubt it... Daddy just got a good shot, and one of those little suckers met a friend in the womb. Your mothers values are much better than your own.

Those soldiers had that right to choose but they were presented with falsehoods. If I buy something that's been misrepresented, then I have a right to take it back. You can't give them back they're lives, or legs, or hands, or minds.
You are comparing a packet of seeds to full grown, nutritionally fed, pruned protected plants. Are you one of those who thinks the morning after pill is immoral?
Classically, abortion is not a democratic value. Classically, pro choice is. But whatever political affiliation, we all have that choice.
what does republican or democrat have to do with deaths in Iraq?
