but i'm not a liberal, so there is no logical answer.

Given your screen name, I'm guessing you don't want a serious and honest answer, but here goes.
(1) Not everyone agrees that abortion kills. That's the simplest answer, although one that's less than satisfying if you staunchly believe that abortion is killing.
(2) Not all liberals are against war, in general. In fact, most liberals will tell you that war is appropriate in certain cases. However, it should be used as a last resort. See the next point for how this reflects on abortion.
(3) Most liberals are not pro-abortion. Rather, the general belief is that abortion should be a personal choice. An option. Just as war (see previous point) is to be used only as a last option, so should abortion.
(4) Some people DO believe that war is never acceptable. Historically, these have been CONSERVATIVE and religious peoples, such as Quakers, Amish, etc. Even today, the most strident anti-war individuals are the most relgious.
(5) Few people believe that war is 100% wrong and abortion is 100% right (or, at least, that there should be 100% choice)
(6) Yet, there are plenty of people who have been quite clear that abortion is 100% wrong (because it's killing) but who accept war, capital punishment, gun use as necessary forms of killing. Perhaps you feel this way?
It all comes down, no matter whether you're conservative or liberal, in what you find an acceptable use of violence/killing. I suppose that liberals, on the whole, find abortion to be acceptable, but war not. I suppose that conservatives, on the whole, believe that abortion is not acceptable, but other forms of killing are.
Some conservatives (but not all, by any stretch) find child abuse to be a "personal choice." Yet, these same people find abortion to be the worst crime against humanity. Funny, we need to save the unborn. But once they are here, the government is supposed to stay out of a parent's right to beat the heck out of their own child. And the government should stay out of a person's right to own and use a gun to kill another human being. And the government should fund the killing of Moslems, simply because they happen to be Moslem. But, oh no, abortion is a sin?
Doesn't line up, does it?
Tell you what: why don't we end all killing. Abortion, war, guns, capital punishment. What do you say? Are you willing to join me?
Lastly, let me address your comment "And Capital Punishment is right because the convicted CHOSE to kill someone in the first place."
It's still killing. If you want to make an argument that KILLING is wrong, then you cannot allow for war, capital punishment, etc. You cannot. However, once you open the door to "acceptable killing" (which is what you're arguing with your statement about capital punishment) then you open the door to abortion being called acceptable. So, are you someone that believes killing is always wrong? Or do you believe that there can be acceptable killing? If the later, then abortion could be called acceptable.

Well all the Christians say that, “well god doesn’t like us killing life!" first of all it's potential life. Not I repeat not Life there could be a miscarriage the baby could die during birth. Also what if the child can’t be supported? Or the parent isn’t emotionally ready or financially ready to support a child allot of children that know they are adopted end up killing them self’s because they go into the world thinking,” my real parents didn’t love me so they gave me away!" this causes issues with depression can lead to drug abuse etc and ultimately suicide. My cousin was adopted. He shot him self. Why you ask? Because he thought he wasn’t loved it is what he said on his suicide note. Also I don’t think it is right for 14 year old girls to have the burden of the baby. Also allot of the Conservatives think any form of protection is against gods will, and my friend the truth is. Its the woman’s body she can do what she wants with it its not someone in governments job or for a matter of fact Conservatives jobs or business or right to tell a woman what she cant or can domestically if this woman you don’t know you have no say in her life. This country was founded on freedom of religion not religion. The only reason under god was put in the pledge of allegiance was to anger the communists in the fiftys. In reality it should have been taken out when the Soviet Union collapsed. But by then the Conservatives where in charge so they kept it in there. It’s the same thing with gay marriage. You don’t have the right to tell them how to live their lives. Besides I’m fourteen I’m going to have to pay the minimum of thirty five thousand dollars in taxes/fees for your little crusade in Iraq. This isn't my debt to pay; never the less I will still have to pay it. If Homosexual marriage was permitted in America. My generation would have to pay considerably less money, why you ask? Goverment can tax marriage and the debt could possibly go down consederably. Point being. It isn't your business just isn't Sorry, and you quote,” you shouldn't have the right to kill him/her”, Your killing A Fetus. Is A Fetus not a Human being? It could live or die. I’m sorry I don't agree with you and I am on good terms with you as a person but I simply do not agree with your Theory.

Very good question. I'm not liberal but everybody knows that libs must hate babies for some reason. I think it interrupts their partying ways.
***Potential Life???!!!??? What, are you insane? You didn't see the baby born recently at 10 weeks and lived? That my friend is a living being.....a human being. I'll bet if it was a tree or a polar bear you would care.

Abortion is a choice and war is for corporate Neo-Cons and their friends and not their kids. As we all know fetuses are just lumps of flesh and the people we kill are living people. Abortion is legal and war is illegal and morally bankrupt.

They are both wrong. Bush and Cheney are vampires feeding off the blood of the American people, and their neo-con wealth engorged support base are a coven of bloodsuckers that need to be taxed into a balanced Federal budget.

Because in the twisted minds of liberals, the woman has the right to chose to murder her child. But, don't send troops to war to protect America. Liberals haven't a clue.

You're trying to imply that abortion is murder, but a baby is'nt a baby until the day it's born, therefore, your question is scurrilous and spurious.

War isn't wrong. but it's for all to fight, so there is no WE in the war,unless you participate, and abortion is none of my business, even if it's your choice, but it's none of yours if it's someone else's either
