Who's kids should we kill?

Today (1/13/2006) is a big abortion protest a few blocks away. Supposedly 100,000 people will march through town (DC) and end up at the convention center for an anti-abortion rally. I personally would never have an abortion. My wife is pregnant and the idea of killing our unborn child sounds horrible. But I do think that there must be a legal procedure for abortions, otherwise the options a desperate girl will turn to are morbid and even fatal.

But the real point of this post is not the legalization of abortion, but the observation that the general class of people who are active protesters of abortion are simultaneous supporters of war. So essentially if you support the war and appose abortion, you want to outlaw the killing of children by women who don’t want them, while you support the killing of children from women who do. Go figure. What do you think about this? Let me know.
