You're not "pro-life" if you only support measures conducive to life before it exits the womb. Are you equally outraged about the fact that millions of innocent men, women, and children halfway around the world are being bombed into oblivion by our military or starved to death by our sanctions (and those of our allies)? Or that close to 70 MILLION Americans are uninsured/underinsured and 45,000 die each year due to a lack of proper healthcare? How about the future generations that will be completely wiped out because minimal action is being taken to address the impending climate catastrophe? Do you support the most basic regulations that would ensure that those precious unborn children won't be brutally gunned down once they reach the 3rd grade?
And don't even get me started on non-human life. The suffering of hundreds of thousands of pigs and cows we slaughter alive each and every day merely because we enjoy the taste of their flesh is ASTRONOMICAL compared to all abortions humanity has ever performed COMBINED. Does the life of that unborn child matter if it is gay or transgender, or would it be better off if it was "six feet under"? Prove to me that you believe life matters AFTER it has left the womb by pressuring your legal representatives to pass paid maternity leave and universal childcare, as the USA remains the ONLY developed country that does not provide these services. Better yet, demand that those children earn enough to make a decent living for themselves and their families when they grow older by advocating for raising the minimum wage and unionization efforts. Make it clear that you demand action on criminal justice reform, starting with abolishing the barbaric practice of state-sanctioned execution which more closely aligns the US with Saudi Arabia than with any of our peer nations in Europe. Finally, vigorously oppose any measure to engage in an unjustified and illegal offensive halfway around the world that costs taxpayers trillions of dollars and steals the lives of thousands of innocent Americans (usually young men).
George Carlin exposed this blatant hypocrisy decades ago.
"Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers."
"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. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're f-cked."
Embryos/fetuses prior to 18 weeks gestation cannot suffer (let alone possess any form of sentience or consciousness), and that infuriates conservatives. So in order to maximize human misery (their ultimate agenda), they seek to outlaw it so that mothers are forced to give birth and those children grow up in destitute and dysfunctional households with little to no social support, receive a poor quality education and either saddle themselves with student debt or serve in the armed forces, only to end up wounded/severely traumatized with no guaranteed healthcare and/or slaving away for a corporation for baseline wages -- all the while ensuring maximum penalties for engaging in sexual activity -- and finally growing old and retiring in little comfort due to a rapidly diminishing allowance in the form of Social Security. Then the cycle repeats itself. And that's not even taking into consideration the potential consequences of overpopulation -- resources will be spread thinner and thinner until, at a certain point, the damage done to our planet will be so severe that human civilization will be all but wiped off the face of the Earth. Think how much worse off we would be TODAY if we added 60+ million to our population (approximately the number of fetuses aborted since 1973). Famine, war, and widepread civil unrest are just the beginning. That's the world Republicans want -- a dystopian Malthusian/Orwellian hellscape -- whether they are cognizant of it or not.
