"Imagine if another country with a strong military invaded the United States. They said it was time for us to stop killing unborn children because we are a threat to all civilization. They came to overthrow our government and end abortion. Would we embrace them or fight back?"
Of course there are holes in the argument but I would want to hear the other candidates TRY to respond. If they said we would fight back, then they couldn't say they are really against abortion. If they said to let the other country win, then they would just look fucking insane.
Since we went to Iraq to save lives and "liberate" the Iraqi people, why don't these pro-life hypocrites try to stop abortion in our own damn country? (yeah because they are hypocrites)
It puts the Iraq war in another view that could make sense to a lot of people since they can't seem to grasp what Ron is talking about when he says "look at what we are doing from the perspective of what we would think if others were doing it to us".
I have brought up this "foreign country invading the US to stop abortion" argument to some people who support the war and they basically agree with me after that.
Unfortunately these debates seem so restricted that something this extreme could never be mentioned :(
