I have said that if we condemn abortion then we should condemn war - they are both wrong. The entity which decides about war is a country. The entity which decides about abortion is a pregnant woman. Our country does not want to give up its right to choose about war (ie. to the UN). It seems consistent to allow pregnant women the right to choose about abortion. In a perfect world, no one would choose to do either but we are not living there yet.
Nonsense. You're compartmentalizing. The woman only made the final decision. Well, actually the doctor did. But up until that point the country decided it was okay to kill. People debated. Legislators legislated. Judges ruled. Technologies were developed. Industries were created. People today propagandize over the right or wrong of abortion. The womans decision is but one of the final steps in a long and complicated process.
Likewise, the killing of an innocent civilian is one of the last steps in an equally long and complicated process.

Apples to oranges. A soldier goes to war and could be asked to kill. BUT he also knowingly puts his life on the line when asked. He may be asked to sacrifice his own life. In abortion it's not about self sacrifice, it's always about killing something else. That's why war should be a choice and abortion shouldn't.
