War on babies
Of all the analogies I have never heard a woman’s decision to have an abortion compared to going to war.
I happen to agree that abortion is a form of murder. I think the quarrel about when life begins is disrespectful to the fetus. I know I murdered the life within me. I could have loved that life but chose not to.Especially from a ordained Christian minister.I did what I think men do all the time when they take us to war: They choose violence because, although they believe it is bad, it is still better than the alternatives. The "just war" theory assumes that human beings get caught in terrible choices all the time. This freedom is not just for men; it is for women also.
This is an absurd anology that relies on a moral equivalency that mocks and rejects the teachings of her own supposed faith.

I think she was likening it more to the war on terror. She doesn't want people to die, but views it as better than the alternative for whatever reason(an unwanted child). She does, however, feel abortion should be avoided. I don't know why she didn't put it up for adoption or something instead if she believe so strongly in not killing via abortion...
