(81,179 posts)You're okay with what they're doing to babies and their families at the border? Ripping infants and toddlers out of their mothers' arms? Keeping those kids in cages? Or farming them out across the country to parts unknown, spiriting them off into the night into orphanages hundreds of miles away, and then not even bothering to keep track (so they may never be able to reunite with their birth families)? Then you're NOT "pro-life."
You're okay with the fact that at least three children have died in those conditions - on our watch, and in our cages? DIED. One of them was 16, but the other two were LITTLE kids. Died ALONE. In a cage. On the floor. With MAYBE a mat or towel to sleep on, and one of those "tin-foil" "blankets to wrap up in? Then you're NOT "pro-life."
You're okay with denying poor families, especially those with single-(mainly female)-heads-of-households, funding, programs that help them AND their kids? Then you're NOT "pro-life."
You're okay with denying funding for decent public schooling? Then you're NOT "pro-life."
You're okay with denying working mothers affordable childcare? Then you're NOT "pro-life."
You're okay with denying funding programs so that some of these kids get an actual breakfast in the morning, and a decent nutritious school lunch? Some of these kids come from families so poor that this is likely the only regular meal they're sure they can get. Then you're NOT "pro-life."
You're okay with ramping up hostilities overseas so that we're on the verge of war with several countries including one (Venezuela) IN OUR OWN HEMISPHERE? (News flash: it won't always be somebody else's kid who gets sent off to fight and die or get his/her legs blown off.) Then you're NOT "pro-life."
You're okay with no broad-based affordable health care? Just because YOU may have a job with health care at least at the moment because you don't wanna have to pay for all those "lazy moochers" getting "free stuff" on your dime? Because otherwise they might get sick and perhaps even die of their illnesses or injuries? Then you're NOT "pro-life."
You're okay with not vaccinating your kids? So they're not only more vulnerable to catching something - but ALSO then able to spread it through the community to every individual they encounter - ANYWHERE? (Because Jenny McCarthy, or your "freedom-freedom", or because some stupid libtard cautioned you against it, so by Jove you're gonna show THEM who's the boss of you?) Measles anyone? Then you're NOT "pro-life."
You're okay with ignoring or scoffing at the climate crisis? When it's YOUR planet, too, and YOUR kids and grandkids are gonna have to live in it as it heats up and causes die-offs and mass extinctions of species and dwindling human-habitable land because you didn't think it was worth doing anything about - or even taking seriously? Then you're NOT "pro-life."
You're okay with ignoring Matthew 25:35-45 - the one about "whatever you do to the least of these, you do to Me"? Well then, you aren't the true and legitimate Jesus-worshipper that you'll loudly insist that you are. And you SURE AS HELL aren't "pro-life"!!!
