Agh, War :(
But still, ‘War’. Do you support the ‘War on Abortion’? Or ‘War on Crime’?
That is not an attempt at cleverness, it’s a commonly accepted thing. You’ll see Wars on Blank capitalized all over the place. They are so designated because people see them as “the moral equivalent to war,” in that the state is mobilized to fight it like they would a war: on a grand scale and directed from the canter. You will also see capitalized the phrases War on Poverty, War on Hunger, etc. The War on Drugs has added credibility in this sense, involving as it does actual violence, bullets, troops, siege and occupation mentalities, etc.
No, I do not support a War on Abortion. That should be a state issue and treated like the rest of the criminal law. I do not support a War on Crime. That should be, again, a state issue, and not the moral equivalent of war.
