Well you certainly have the right to be wrong[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Freedom of speech.

But it is factually incorrect to compare the military to abortion. You are basically just saying anything with a similar outcome (death) is the same. That is nonsensical.

Logically that is like saying "Working in a factory is equal to abortion because some jobs are dangerous enough to kill you".

Here's the rub: is every person killed by the state or its tentacles through some means justified? Every casualty of war? Noncombatants? Civilians who are in the wrong building?

What about someone who takes a job in a dangerous sweatshop because they have no other feasible option, and then gets killed? What about pollution from that sweatshop causing a series of miscarriages in a village downstream from the water source it pollutes?

Until we address these complicated things, conservatives bloviating about abortions in the USA, and using the state to attempt to control it, is hypocrisy. We all look the other way on a certain amount of death
