A Life Calculus?

I am arguing with myself here, but I imagine people who read the prior entry want to ask, "what is the death toll of war?"

I am not justifying killing in warfare, capital punishment, etc. The human person has the right not to be killed, period. Governments and societies have no natural right to kill that subordinates the right to life.

Rather, my point was that if the policies of the president-elect work themselves out, the impact should be quantifiable.

If we can quantify the impact, then we can learn something about the outcome of voting pro-life.
