Abortion vs. war

I'm wondering why we are so much more worried about abortion than war. Why do aborted babies pull at our heart strings and we could care less about dying children around the world? Why do Christians vehemently oppose any candidate who is pro-choice, but pay no mind to his stance on war and international aid? I have heard many people say that Obama scares them because he is "pro-choice." In my experience this is mainly just a cover-up for those who really are scared to have a black president, but why would this scare us more than having a president currently waging two wars, one of which was started under false pretenses?
Last week, Pakistan said that a US Predator drone bombed targets inside Pakistan and wounded many teens, killing some. Of course, our government can't comment. While the subject of the US bombing targets inside other countries is for another day...the question of why was there no US public outcry remains?

Do we as a people really only care about saving the lives of unborn children in America? Are the children of the world already born less important?
