I have explained it but for you here:

 I will explain it again.  Your injection of Iraq, or war into the topic of abortion is a red herring.  What anyone does or doesn't believe or think about war has absolutely nothing to do with the facts of abortion.

If a person went to war zones and ate dead burned bodies, that person could still argue against abortion as they are two different things.

A Red Herring is a fallacy in which an irrelevant topic is presented in order to divert attention from the original issue. The basic idea is to "win" an argument by leading attention away from the argument and to another topic. This sort of "reasoning" has the following form:

Topic A is under discussion.

Topic B is introduced under the guise of being relevant to topic A (when topic B is actually not relevant to topic A).

Topic A is abandoned.

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because merely changing the topic of discussion hardly counts as an argument against a claim.
