People killing people

I noticed there were arguments about the word genocide in the news this morning.  That prompted me to think about the words we use for things and how they can sometimes obscure what we believe about right and wrong.

It's pretty much always wrong to kill another human being, except possibly in self-defense.  When a government starts a war, it's pretty much never actually truly self-defense.

That about sums it up for me.

Truce

I call for a truce. Conservatives will not ask Liberals to fund wars which the Liberals believe are murder, and Liberals will not ask Conservatives to fund abortions which they Conservatives believe are murder.

Why is it that so few people would agree to this completely rational proposal?

And why is anyone who disagrees with this principle allowed to have any say over my life at the ballot box?
