Buddy, I didn't say it has no effect. I just think the forces of our entire system create way more "effect" than any amount of abortions inside the USA. Which is why I will continue to criticize anyone who claims to be "pro-life" but is also pro-military, anti-socialized healthcare, pro-capitalism et cetera. Way more death in the wake of all of that. Including babies. The state already sees all of us as expendable. I don't think any billionaires post here.
I do not understand your last two paragraphs

The issue here is you think you can compare something like abortion to the military. Becoming pregnant is completely within the control of the mother, with the obvious exception of the rare and terrible case of rape.
The military deals with situations that often form outside of America's control. Many times military operations are in a grey area. When we were attacked on 9/11, we could have certainly not gone to war. On the one hand that could have reduced the total number of deaths caused by war in the past 20 years. On the other hand attacks could have continued on America if we showed that we had no interest in defending ourselves.
Which scenario would save more lives? Nobody knows. But we do know that not having an abortion will save the babies life most of the time.
