It's not exactly a secret. It's a little different if the service is mandatory (draft) but in an all-volunteer military like the majority of countries currently have you pretty much know what you're getting into. I have no idea why you have that issue with it.
Then again, I have no idea how abortion and military service are directly being compared in the first place.
As you pointed out; people joining the military have a choice. People getting an abortion have a choice. But the aborted fetuses... do
not get a choice.
At least, I am assuming that is the point the pro-life crowd is trying to make.
As for me, I say; if people used contraceptives without all the negative pressure well-meaning but deluded busybodies put on them not to do so, the demand for abortions would be a lot less in the first place. Far better to never have an unwanted child than to get pregnant and then terminate it, but some people unreasonably equate the two.
Dare to be different... and make a difference.
