It was absolutely morally wrong to kill that many innocent civilians in Japan. I’m not a strategist on how to win wars and such.

Seems a bit gutless to say the decision to drop the bomb was absolutely (assume that means 100%) wrong and not provide at least one morally superior strategy because you are not a "strategist". If you are going to pass judgement with such certainty, why not even give it a try. What would you have done? Sacrifice an extra hundred thousand US servicemen in order to surgically avoid as many Japanese civilian deaths as possible? Is there a ratio of US Servicemen deaths to Japanese civilian deaths that is morally acceptable? The moral certitude you have on dropping the bombs is quite impressive.

I believe it’s cowardly to only want a certain side to win elections over protecting the unborn.

Please tell us in what world does basically guaranteeing that Democrats win future elections not lead to the most liberal abortion laws possible? Because it is really one or the other in the current way the system works. This is where there is no nuance. Work your best to guarantee Republican success by taking a less hardline stance on abortion or take the most hardline abortion stance possible that will guarantee Democrat success?

You are willing to draw a completely immovable line in the sand even if it most certainly guarantees there are way more abortions in the future? You are going to say to those children aborted at 39 weeks "hey... I know these extreme democrats would not have been in power to make a law that allows you to be aborted if I were not so immovable in my mission to ban all abortions but you know what... my conscious is clean. Sorry you had to be cut up a week before you would be born but that is the price you have to pay so that my conscious is clean. Tough break huh kid"

Using that logic it would've been even more morally wrong to go through Operation Olympic and fight on the ground which the Japanese would've done to the bitter end. Little Boy and Fat Man saved far more lives then they took.
