Pro life hypocrisy?

[meauneau]

Isn't it paradoxical or even contradictory to be pro life and yet support wars and interventions which result in loss of life? Stopping a child from being born is wrong but going to war/military intervention that results in many deaths is not wrong? Or can they both be justified thus not always wrong?

I think that to be pro life one has to be against war, death penalty and military interventions wich will result in deaths etc.

Or am I a potato?

 

[Jim Bob]

I am pro life! I don't like war, but do believe in defending the defenseless! Sometimes you got to have peace through strength!

Pro-life doesn't mean no one should ever die ever....


This is one of the dumbest arguments the left uses unironically. Thinking an unborn child shouldn't be killed because their parents aren't responsible enough to keep their legs closed with protection doesn't mean we are hypocrites for thinking someone proven guilty of triple homicide deserves to die.

This shouldn't even have to be explained.


The real question is, why does the left have a problem with sentencing people who have committed violent murder to death and oppose us killing murderous terrorists...but they believe killing an unborn child is a absolute human right.

Pro-life is just a label that sounds more appealing and universal.

BTW, wars and interventions don't result in deaths of innocent little kids and such anymore. We use "smart bombs" that only result in "collateral damage".

 

[Thunderflash500]

Isn't it a little hypocritical to not want your brains to be made into scrambled eggs yet your ok doing it to helpless defenseless babies?

They aren't always just cells. Sometimes little baby arms go in the dumpster.

In my eyes it's yet another symptom of a dying culture. Abortion, and electric scooters at grocery stores.

It's all relative. You can't expect the average man to act peacefully when God himself murdered every single living human on the planet, save Ziusudra.

Pro life doesn't mean no one should ever die, but it does mean that we should not end innocent lives.

You think abortion is wrong but then bomb a city and kill hundreds of babies and pregnant women.

Not sure if you are a spud, but you are certainly boxing people up. Do you really think that all of the people who are anti-abortion are proponents of war and foreign interventions?

Yeah because we only bomb innocent people...not anyone who actively kills those innocent people from shithole regions and want us dead as well

 

[WiolentOne]

No it's not paradoxical.

I don't know how many times I have to say this on so many different topics but our values are not absolute. The decisions we make are contingent on a multitude of factors and are based on case-specific circumstances where yes, our values often conflict with eachother. This is life. It's not easy.

For example most here would agree that stealing is wrong. However, most here would also steal a loaf of bread to feed their starving family.

There are conflicting values and that's life.

 

[helltoupee]

So the Vietnamese wanted us dead? They asked for our help in expelling the pillaging French for Christ's sakes.

Maybe you should provide a specific example of a particular war and ask people if they agreed with it? Would you agree that there was a big difference between the Vietnam war and stopping Hitler in World War II?

BTW anyone who truly believes that the US only bombs innocent countries needs to get a refund from your communist professor, you got robbed

I didn't imply that. I am directing this to those who do, those who are anti abortion and anti euthanasia and yet pro war and foreign intervention. It is these who I think are being inconsistent with their beliefs.

You need to retake history class from a professor who isn't a Che Guevara fanboy.

No you don't only bomb innocent people you also bomb the bad ones. As another poster said in a post above, the dead babies and pregnant women are collateral damage. But abortion and euthanasia is wrong, right?

There are conflicting values and that's life.

So what is morally wrong to you could be morally right if circumstances change?

Can this apply to abortion and euthanasia too?

 

[Son of Jamin]

I didn't imply that. I am directing this to those who do, those who are anti abortion and anti euthanasia and yet pro war and foreign intervention. It is these who I think are being inconsistent with their beliefs.

So if I'm against abortions but feel that the US was right to go to war against that angry dude with the ugly mustache was the right thing to do, am I being inconsistent then?

When I say innocent I mean citizens of a country not the country itself. The pregnant women and babies I see as innocent.
