If there are not exceptions to stopping a life not yet manifested in this world, how can you have an exception for an activity which kills those who are already living in this world?

It is not pro-life to ALLOW someone to murder you. That is anti-life.

Therefore, it is pro-life to protect your OWN life from murderers.

Therefore, it is pro-life to wage a war on terror against those who killed 3000 on 9/11.

That is what many of the early Christians did - check history.

That could be true regarding our military assistance activity in Afghanistan against the Taliban. It is not true regarding our invasion of Iraq. The leaders and citizens of Iraq were virtually uninvolved in the attacks of 9/11. There are several other countries that were much more involved but we did not invade them. There are many other countries in the world with evil dictators but we did not invade them. It is not pro-life to arbitrarily initiate violence and wage war on a country we don't like. This also involved a violation of our constitution - which I explained in an earlier post.
