[How can you be pro-life and support this war?]
there is a difference between consenting adults and fetuses. they have no relationship to each other. it's apples and oranges.

So what your'e saying is that it is okay for BOTH a fetus and the pregnant mother to get killed by bullets from a soldier's machine-gun, or if she dies from a 'smart bomb', just like 100,000 other Iraqi civilians, so long as the deaths are caused by american soldiers.
Oddly enough, he kind of has a point. If you become a soldier, and it's voluntary, you are in fact agreeing to sacrifice your life four your country. Also, you accept that it is the political leaders who decide where you fight and, by default, where you could die. Note however that you are the one who makes the initial decision to join or not: as a member of the society it is a choice you can make. BUT
a foetus is not a member of a society and only has the voice that the mother chooses to give it. If she chooses to end it, so be it. If she chooses not to, so be it.
I mean, according to your standards, euthanasia no(consenting adults)and war yes(which consenting adults are those who are killed?). It´s apples, apples and apples.
TDR: You're probably right, but slamming a position assumed to be held by the poster means nothing. We don't appreciate it when the fundies slam someone for being an atheist when he's a liberal, for example; the two CAN coexist, but they certainly don't have to.
And those consenting women and children who get blown away.
What I find ironic is how the poster seems to believe that soldiers in Iraq have "consented" to be killed. I know a lot of soldiers, some in Iraq even, and not a single one of them ever "consented" to be killed in a politically motivated pissing contest.
Ah, yes. There's a difference between adults and fetuses. Killing adults is OK, but killing fetuses is murder!

so... the soldiers s/he supports volunteered, and their deaths are not murder, but the people who died as a result of the war s/he's supporting didn't volunteer and were murdered. I agree with your position but I don't see how that means pinkeye has a point.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
