If you so desperately cling to life, then why don't more Americans help stop genocide in Darfur?

Do you have a list of who is helping and who isnt and if they are pro life or not? What have you done to help out there?
your superiority complex is showing.

That's not entirely ethics, that's cultural. As individuals we feel powerless and thus we naturally believe that since I am just one person, what can I do? I'm sure any "pro-lifers" would like to stop the genocide but have no idea how. Darfur is like the definition of chaos and the military tactics behind stopping a genocide are ad hoc at best. Most politicians I believe would like to say "lets get into darfur and save those people", however, few would actually give the order to send a wave of troops in fear of failure and their reputation being crushed, even if the pro-lifers lobby and lobby and lobby to get it done. Your question is a huge one and I think goes into psychology, sociology, politics, and much more. Pro-lifers though I think would generally like to help but feel that they can't.

"Collateral damage" in war destroys a lot of lives, including unborn lives, so yes we prolifers should be doing whatever we can toward stopping that war and every war. Since we will never get everyone to live in peace or get all women to endure unwanted pregnancies, we need to support the development of nonlethal weapons and nonlethal pregnancy termination technology.
That being said, the governments which we have a voice in are not doing the killing in Darfur, but some of them do finance the killing of the unborn. That gives us a greater obligation to try to stop the court approved violence in our medical facilities than the violence in foreign lands.

Because pro-life Americans are going to put their time, money, and effort in to saving the lives of helpless Americans before they try to save the lives of non-Americans who are not necessarily helpless.

It absolutely stuns me that liberals want us out of Iraq only to jump right in the middle of Sudan's civil war. Does this make any Common Sense to anyone?

The Unborn have no say in their matter, so we must stand on behalf of their Right to Life!!

Why does it bother you so much that people are pro-life?
