It is difficult to take the pro-life side seriously when so many in the movement shrug off the bombing of children in foreign countries. Are we so brainwashed in our partisan thinking that we do not see the hypocrisy here?
Show me a pro-lifer that advocates, or shrugs off bombing children in foreign countries. I would love to see that.
In Iraq when the city of fallujah got bombed, there were many on the right that shrugged it off as "casualties of war" or "they shouldn't have been there".

Very few that I'm aware of "shrugged it off". I myself saw it as a very sad consequence of war. And not just the children, but the non-combatant lives lost on any side. The error here is conflating the pushback at stupid memes like this with lack of compassion.
nationalism is the easy answer.
Your premise is faulty. Who and where are these pro-life people "shrugging off the bombings of children in foreign countries"?

Oh, you mean PATRIOTISM right? Lol. Yeah, I totally agree nationalism/jingoism plays a big part.
In the Republican Party mostly.
I noticed that as well lately.
I really hate "right" and "left" arguments.

I guess it depends on your definition of "shrug off". I sympathize with civilian casualties, but I also sympathize with the deaths and injuries of enemy combatants. Even though I sympathize, I see it as a necessary evil, which means I can be pro-life without putting the unborn above anybody.Many of them will deny up and down (as they are in this thread) that they shrug off collateral damage. But how many threads do we see coming from conservative Republicans expressing outrage over the children killed by our bombs compared to the threads expressing outrage over abortions.

No, you don't.So the death of a civilian casualty is no different than the death of an enemy combatant? Do I have that right?
And someone who is pro-life can say that it's unnecessary.And someone who is pro-choice can say that abortion is a necessary evil.

In denial I see.
No, you don't.
And someone who is pro-life can say that it's unnecessary.
No, I asked to see the proof.
You asking for proof that conservatives tend to shrug off collateral damage is like asking for proof that most Republicans are pro-gun. It's silly. But just to humor you...
