financial risk
There is a risk of physical / financial security for the sake of personal dignity or morals?

Examples: pro-life, want to adopt many children as possible, to avoid being aborted, with the risk they put themselves in the poorhouse? As an environmentalist, want to buy all the latest technology conservation, in the incredible high cost? As someone who supports peace, would you be willing to see the U.S. disarm before any other country is agree or even suggest such a thing?

No, no and no.
