Why isn't the pro-life (anti-choice) crowd more supportive of the ACA?

[LonePirate]

While my question is largely rhetorical, does anyone know of any instances where so called pro-life groups warmly embraced the ACA? After all, isn't helping people afford and receive health care a method of giving them life and preventing them from dying?

The more I dwell on right wing hypocrisy, the more my head hurts.

1. They only care about life until the fetus is born. And only as a political issue then.

Then it's YOYO time as far as they care.

2. Stop Playing, you know why...

Forcing Women to have babies is about control. It has nothing to do with "saving lives" or producing healthy babies.

Look at the Black Communities in Urban Areas. You can throw a rock 20 feet and find 10 21yro with 5 babies or more. Women in those situations rarely move beyond the Ghetto. Or go to the suburbs, With an ice cream truck, I bet at least 5 women come out with 3 or more stair step babies trapped in a marriage, because they can't figure out how to leave and support their children.

They are anti-choice, not Pro-life

5. Punishing sluts.

The #1 motivator for the anti-choice crowd is this: women should not have sex unless they intend to have a baby.

All other factors (babies) are far less important. Once you accept this, it all makes sense, and there is no contradiction. The goal is to discourage women from having recreational sex by making their lives more difficult if they do have sex.

There is no confusion. There is no paradox.

6. Anti Choice clerics are hyper popular on DU lately, ask their advocates why the

men they admire keep hindering the ACA. It seems they would be super informed about this, and would easily be able to explain.

7. Fetus = Corporation = Human Being

You can't argue with logic like that!
