I'd have more respect for the concept if pro-peace and anti-war themes were included in "Sanctity of Human Life" observations, on an equal footing with abortion.
A human life is a human life, and I cannot see why protesting the death of children in other countries as collateral damage in our nation's wars wouldn't be equally as important. If the sanctity of life, per se, is actually what's on the table here. I don't think you can separate abortions and collateral damage deaths morally, in good conscience; and I fear that the only reason for trying to do so is political.
There are anti-abortion, pro-peace Christians, and I respect them totally for their well-thought-out, consistently-applied beliefs.
