We fight wars to protect our freedoms and our ideology pretty much constantly for the last 50 years or more. Most of these to fend off either communism or islam. Undeniably these wars comes with collateral damage in the form of civilian casualties, many of which are women and children. We justify this by rationalizing the end result, our freedom, is worth these lost lives. I whole heartedy agree with this. It's Savage and inhuman, but such is the nature of this life.
No different with this debate. We're fighting a domestic war against socialism and no one yet has denied that those millions of aborted children would have grown up to be, by a large majority, liberals. As tight as the divide has been for the last 20 years, this country would have been lost long ago.
