therefore, sometimes war is necessary. killing an unborn child is not. the baby is not risking a million citizens lives and if it is threatening yours, then shouldnt you make the unselfish choice of giving your life for your kid instead of letting yourself live?
I am by no means "pro-war". I hate war and what it does to countries and to individual families and people. But war can have just causes; according to St. Thomas Aquinas, war can be considered just under these terms (collectively called the "Just War Theory"):
-the reason for going to war must be just (for instance, not going to war simply to exterminate a certain race)
-only constituted public authorities may wage war
-intent is good (for example, correcting a wrong is a good intention, gaining material goods is not)
-in self-defense (heartsheal4 provided an example of that- the attack on Pearl Harbor)
-as a last resort- any other means of trying to resolve the conflict prove ineffective
-must be a chance of success (cannot resort to arms if the cause is futile)
-use of arms must not bring about greater damage and evil than the evil intended to be eliminated
All Christians are pro-life (if you consider yourself a pro-choice Christian, you are not really Christian), but you don't necessarily have to be against war. Christians can still support war, as long as it's just.
