then you really better be very strongly against the war in Iraq. Otherwise, you're just a racist HYPOCRITE who supports the murder of innocent children...just so long as they are Iraqi children.
or do you think it's OK to kill innocent children if you claim to have a good reason, or if it makes someone else's life better, or more convenenient? because if you do...you have to be pro choice, don't you?

No.
And fetuses are NOT children, just like an egg isn't a chicken.

late term abortion is murder.
The first step in a D&E is to dilate the cervix. This is often begun about a day before the surgical procedure. Enlarging the opening of the cervix enables surgical instruments such as a curette or forceps to be inserted into the uterus.
The second step is to remove the fetus. Either a local anesthetic or general anesthesia is given to the woman. Forceps are inserted into the uterus through the vagina and used to separate the fetus into pieces, which are removed one at a time. Lastly, vacuum aspiration is used to ensure no fetal tissue remains in the uterus (such tissue can cause serious infections in the woman). The pieces are also examined to check that the entire fetus was removed.
partial birth abortion:
Intact D&X, or partial birth abortion first involves administration of medications to cause the cervix to dilate, usually over the course of several days. Next, the physician rotates the fetus to a footling breech position. The body of the fetus is then drawn out of the uterus feet first, until only the head remains inside the uterus. Then, the physician uses an instrument to puncture the base of the skull, which collapses the fetal head. Typically, the contents of the fetal head are then partially suctioned out, which results in the death of the fetus and reduces the size of the fetal head enough to allow it to pass through the cervix. The dead and otherwise intact fetus is then removed from the woman's body.

the context for the iraq war and abortion rights are two distinct issues. there is always death in war that is why you do not recklessly start a war unless absolutely neccessary which iraq was not. abortion is a moral and personal issue that should not be a political issue anymore. If you don'T believe in it fine , have nothing to do with abortions and let women make their own difficult choices. what is hypocritical is to be pro life , pro death penalty.If killing a potential life is murder than every time one of you phony hypocritical christian conservatives jerk off you're just as guilty of so called murder.

Your analogy between abortion and war fails. The difference is...
Imagine that 10 terrorists are hiding in a daycare. They take a bunch of innocent children hostage. The U.S. army kills all the terrorists but also accidentally kills one of the innocent children.
For it to be like abortion this would be the scenario:
Imagine that 10 terrorists are hiding in a daycare. They take a bunch of innocent children hostage. The U.S. army purposely kills the innocent children.

Very good point. Why is one life more valuable than the other, if they believe that it's a life. They say it's valid to go to war, but if life is so precious, then there would be no valid reason. Like they believe there is no valid reason for abortion.
ph_yo is talking about late term abortion. Most pro-choicers are against abortion beyond the first trimester. But, I think this person wanted you to assume that this is what happens all the time. It doesn't.

Let's be clear: US forces are not targeting Iraqi children. Who is? Terrorists / insurgents. We are stopping the terrorists / insurgents. Murder is murder, but there are varying degrees of it. I think most people will say murder in the name of self defense is acceptable, no?
Conceived children are alive, you are killing them when you have an abortion. Up until you were conceived, there was nothing I could do to take your life from you. Once you are conceived, if I destroy you, I murder you. If my fetus was destroyed, I would not be here, I would have been destroyed. Just because the life isn't walking, talking or smiling does not diminish its importance.

I believe abortion is murder and I support the war. If our soldiers go over and deliberately kill the children then it's wrong. In war time it's casualties of war and you seem to forget that women and children are also armed and trained to fight also.

Not sure how anyone's answer to this question, one way or the other, would make them a "racist"? However, has anyone ever noticed that ALL the people that are pro-abortion are already born. Hmmmmm

I think that both abortion and killing people in war are murder, but sometimes there's a valid reason for doing both.
