I don't oppose these because they involve killing, I oppose these because
I believe to do otherwise would be wrong.

1) I oppose war because it adversely effects peple not involved in it and
   with whom the aggressors can have no legitimate claim on. If you could
   have a war which only effected those fighting it and all of these were
   fighting because they wanted to, then fine have a war.

2) I would ban all guns because of the misery they cause and the level of
   crime the allow, fairly hard to rob a bank holding a kitchen knife. 
	Note: Dont give me all that crap about a gun owning citizenship
              being the only way to secure a democratic government. The
	      only way of securing democracy, is for the citizenship to
	      believe in democracy.

3,5,6 & 7) If I opposed these because of killing then i'd be a vegitarian
   and I'm not. I oppose these because I believe we need a diversity of
   species and spotted owls, dolphins, whales and eagles are in danger.
   if the human species was endangered I'd probably be against abortion
   
4) I oppose the death penaly because our legal system are often wrong and
   the wait while we try to ensure we are not is cruel. One other benefit
   is that keeping a murderer locked up for life is cheaper than the cost
   of the lengthy series of appeals and keeping them locked up while they
   wait

9) I don't believe abortion is kiiling.

10) I oppose animal testing because it dose not work, animals are not
   people, what's o.k for a beagle probably is not for a human

11) Opposite of above, fetal tissue is very like human tissue. What
   dose not harm it will almost certainly not harm human tissue

12) I oppose drugs because they are a waste of talent that would be
  better used to better society than lying in a gutter

13) There are serious polution problems to be concidered here :-)

14) Well can't realy answer this one, don't have a 14 year old daughter,
  dont't own a gun if I did anmd then it depends on where I shot him.

My only question is why dose your average pro-lifer not oppose these if
life is so important.
