(5,158 posts)just pro-fetus, and their concern for the fetus stops as soon as it is born. Especially if it is born to a poor, minority family on Medicaid.

(53,475 posts)The *real* Republicans (the 1% crowd) don't give a flying f*ck about the fetuses, gay marriage, or any of their other issues. It's just a way to get the Fundies to vote their single issue. Thanks, Saint Ronnie.

Republican politicians do not want the abortion issue to go away. Ever.

(4,858 posts)They regard the killing and maiming of women as the whole point of the "pro-life" movement, as a way of getting women back into their "place". Absolutely everything in their rhetoric and actions reinforces this belief.

No one is pro-abortion. I wish there was never a reason for a woman to have to make the decision to do it. But wishing will not change facts. This is why I am pro-choice. And I also care about women. And children after they are born. I am not a Republican.

(490 posts)This "pro-life" issue has always puzzled me because I never considered myself a breeding slave for any man, state, nation or god. How any woman can consider herself an animal not deserving of human rights bewilders and scares me.
I just want these creepy people to die off like the dinosaurs they are.
