Being Pro-Life (opposed to abortion in most instances) and being opposed to the Iraq occupation are entirely consistent ...
I wonder exactly how many times Jesus repeated the following verses ... certainly, again and again to those disciples who followed him from village to village ... Hmmm ... do you suppose that maybe that's why they put His words in red in so many of our Bibles?
Mt 5:44 "But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."
Lu 6:27 "But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also."
Lu 6:35 "But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked."
Mt 5:39 "But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right cheek let the left be turned."
Lu 6:37 "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
Lu 12:22 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on.
Mt 26:52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword, [scalpal, cluster bombs, whatever ...] back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword."
Mt 7:12 "In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets."
