It is called selective morality and ethics. We as humans are brilliant at choosing what is an exception to what we believe in.

I'm pro life. I oppose war and the death penalty.

a child is innocent. They have done nothing wrong but have the misfortune to be conceived by an idiot who didn't do enough to protect them self from an unwanted pregnancy.
I'm not sure anyone advocates war, but it sometimes necessary to stop dictators from creating a world of submissive people.
Criminals on the other hand, make a chose to commit a violent crime and are anything but innocent. In most case they have committed the worse crimes imaginable by taking the life of someone in a violent way, who has done nothing to them.
Why is it so hard to see the difference in the two?

Death Row inmates have been tried and convicted of heinous crimes, they are not innocent. War is only advocated if our way of life is threatened by madmen hell-bent on our destruction as in the current crisis.
Tiny babies are the epitome of innocence, they have harmed no one. The irony is that liberals wish a horrible death upon these helpless children while weeping for murderers and Islamofascist terrorists.
Liberals are truly sick.

Babies, by their very definition are inocent. They do not have a choice or say in their own defense.
War is a last resort, no nation likes to go to war.
The death penalty is doled out to adults, with full rational ability, who have chosen to take the life another.
Pretty simple, we don't believe you should be killed if you can't speak on your own behalf.

People join the military by their own choice (in America) and war is always a possibility. People commit crimes , again by there own choice, and face the consequences of their choices. Just like some people choose to ask dumb @ss questions. So, where does the unborn child have a choice?

Most Americans make up their own morality as they wish.

Um, most don't. I'm pro-life, but I don't adovocate war. I do advocate the death penalty, however, because if someone killed someone, they should be killed too. The baby didn't do anything, why should we kill it?

That question can easily be turned around. How can pro deathers kill babies, yet want to save the life of an evil murderer?

That 'argument' can be turned both ways. A good enough reason, in my opinion, not to compare the two.

I believe that it was in the third grade that I learned that one cannot compare apples to oranges - and it's still true today.
