I don’t quite understand how eating bugs equates to abortion or people dieing in war.

It's the "consistency" issue ~ you know how the Jains are ~ they oppose war, suicide, infanticide, abortion, killing little animals, killing big animals, killing plants.

So much for the appeal of "consistency" ~ unless you're a Jain you most likely do not attempt to take a consistent pro-life (per se) position on everything.

I do know people (Jains) who do take a consistent position. On the other hand they don't care for the foxes and raccoons that raid their trash cans at night. I actually like the little critters and consider my position on "liking animals" superior to theirs as a result, although I also like porkchops, steak and fried chicken!
