    Imo you can’t call yourself pro-life and be against a fair social system (at the very least regarding medical fees). Loosing your mother at age 6 becausee insulin costs 400$ a vial is not being protected, neither is dying from cancer at age 12 because the insurance won’t pay for your treatment.

      100% agree. Someone once pointed out to me that if the antis really believed they were babies, there would be far more anti abortion terrorists. If they really believed that thousands of babies were being murdered just down the road, dramatically fewer people would just sit moaning about it. They’d be blocking roads, slashing tyres and bombing clinics overnight… or more extreme

    “Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own! Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you!”

      Carlin was brilliant. There was so much that he said that was just absolutely true, but his delivery made it funny, rather than depressing.

      They also cut SNAP, PBS (where tons of kids and educational programming are), and Medicaid, so the kids’ parents will be sick.

    You can’t call yourself pro life.

    Seriously. So few people are genuinely “pro-life anti-abortion” if someone says they are pro life safe money is that they’re just lying.

    For righties, protecting children stops at birth because at no point whatsoever are they ever about protecting children. A fetus is neither a person nor a child, nor does it exhibit any hallmarks of consciousness. It is simply a medical condition, so it’s a convenient thing to champion imaginary “unborn children” because real children - real living, breathing people - have actual material needs. Fighting for the living means doing things other than treating vulnerable people horribly, and that is, at the start and end of the day, the only thing those sadists desire.

    I mean, you can’t say your pro life and then end welfare programs and dismantle the education system and deny school lunch and wait outside schools while children are mass murdered and don’t change gun laws that repeatedly target them and all of the thousands of other ways Republicans work every day to hurt children, and yet they still do it.

    The irony is that a lot of people that are anti abortion don’t give a fuck about the child after it’s born and wouldn’t even yawn if they died afterwards, especially if it’s a black kid
