It seems to me like there's an anomaly between the preciousness of life when it comes to fetuses, compared with our precious soldiers fighting in Iraq. Aren't their lives at LEAST as dear, if not more so?
I'd buy the argument if it were that our wonderful soldiers were saving lives by defending the US from attack, but I don't recall hearing that the US was attacked by Iraq. And this "freedom" and "liberty" argument is just a bunch of hogwash. (Don't get me wrong; I think that freedom and liberty are fundamental ideals of this country. I just don't think that the loss of these ideals were what put us in Iraq in the first place.)
From what I understand of the Republican/right-wing value system, saving unwanted fetuses is penultimate, but saving the lives of our heroic soldiers is, well, apparently not so important.
So what am I missing?
