"Pro life"

I hate that conservatives use this term. They aren't pro life they are anti-abortion or pro birth. But after birth they can give a damn about that human being. I can go down the list of how they are anti life starting with them believing that health care is a privilege not a right.

and pregnancy a pre-existing condition, the Friends of the Fetus have made it clear once and for all that they are not pro-life; they are not even pro-birth. They are anti-woman.

For some reason, the woman's life never seems to matter.

When abortion is banned, women die. Childbirth is a dangerous medical procedure that sometimes results in death. It is a much more dangerous procedure than an abortion. If women who want abortions are prevented from having them, some women will die who would not have died otherwise. The number of deaths won't be small, since the number of childbirths is not small.

In a world where a woman's life is considered a life, being against abortion is not a "pro-life" position.

P.S. This is not even considering the fact that many women will die in back-alley abortions. Banning abortion goes against nature. It is natural for a human being to want to be able to determine what happens to his/her body. That's why abortions happen regardless of whether they're banned or not. The only thing bans affect is whether abortions are safe or not.

I'm so pro-abortion, I think I'll go get one tomorrow And I'm a male; that tells you how extreme my pro-abortion position. Pieces of shit spending millions on the propaganda, and it slips right through at times.

Don't get me started.

I emailed Cruz that my granddaughter was born on Obamacare. He takes 4 months to respond. He says the first thing he did as senator was repeal Obamacare. Then he said Obamacare is killing jobs. He did not even acknowledge my granddaughter. He could care less.

Obviously Ted Cruz hates babies. I carried a big protest sign in front of his office that said, "TED CRUZ HATES BABIES".

They are Baby Haters.

Nothing less.
