1) Nazis are dominating the war (as pro-choice has dominated this war).
2) There is no historical reason for believing the war can be brought to a conclusion (as this war has no end in sight).
With those two additions, if I perpetuate the war, dedicated to "fighting evil," then I am inadvertently condemning generations of Jews to be slaughtered. While I will continue to try to change the Nazi perspective, I may also have to accept that I am not going to change it, and I cannot defeat them. So if my goal is to end the atrocity of Jews dying, given 1) and 2) above, then my "compromise" would likely take the form of finding strategies to separate Jews from Nazi's, so the probability of them being killed is reduced/eliminated. For those I cannot separate, I would need to find strategies to make letting them live more attractive than killing them.
And to predict your response - I realize you cannot separate the "fetus" the the "pro-choicer." That is the unique conundrum of this war. The only way to successfully get that separation to happen is to a) work to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and b) make carry/adopt a more desirable choice than abortion (without triggering the law of unintended consequences).
