1. And repeat - BECAUSE it's necessary. This is NOT "pro-life."

If you claim to be “pro-life,” then you REALLY better mean it. You don’t get to tweezer out the whole embryo thing and leave it at that.

You better be foaming at the mouth about the reckless wanton destruction of the planet! That blessed orbiting home of ALL life.

AND all those children in cages.

AND all those refugees seeking their own “right to life” in a safe place where they can provide that safety for their families. THOSE lives count, too! You CANNOT discount or ignore THAT life just because you don’t like the color of the outer wrapping.

You DON’T get to tweezer out a highly selective definition of “life” when you absolutely disregard all other aspects of life - including human life.

And repeat - BECAUSE it's necessary. This is NOT "pro-life." calimary Aug 2019 #1
