I’m not sure one can actually characterize McCain as pro-life, not with his apparent gleeful willingness to throw troops into Iraq, killing, causing mayhem, and destroying lives – all in the name of that most chic of political deities: Democracy, the Ever-Glorious.
Anti-abortion, perhaps. But certainly not pro-life. His foreign policy has shown a marked indifference and carelessness toward life.

It’s sounds like you might be on the same page with one of my elders. You should check out his blog and, more specifically, some of his recent posts:

It’s about time that Christians really start thinking about many of these issues.
Amen to both of you. Anti-abortion is just a small step toward pro-life.
High-fives all around then.
