"The Long War": Wars R US + "Pro-Life"?

[patrice]

Abortion is a "sacrament" for a culture/society in which Death is an Economic Commodity such as that proposed by Cheney et al in THEIR "Long War". Yes, there is a struggle over how to respond to Terrorism, but pre-determined answers (such as the Invastion of Iraq) disregard so amny Options. War does not work in stopping Terrorism anyway.

And "Pro-Life" advocates are Silent: What the hell DOES Pro-Life mean? Do you think we will hear an honest answer from Sens. Santorum or Brownback?

1. I totally agree.

Pro-Life

Where a brain dead women and a three week old embryo are more important than the lives of our sons and daughters fighting an illegal war!

10. Their and Iraqi's Deaths are a commodity in Cheney's Economy.

BushCo is trying to root War in the middle-class jobs base, hence all of the privitization and military contracting now in less than traditional areas.

2. Those who oppose birth control and abortion

Support the Bible's forms of birth control: Famine, Wars, Disease and Pestilence.

3. "pro-life" means...

..."I can support racism, homophobia, personal and corporate greed, social darwinism, cuts in social programs, etc. - and still claim to be morally superior because I am protecting babies from their murderous mothers!!"

At least that's how I'VE always interpreted it.

7. It wasn't exclusively about Abortion when I first heard of it.

You've got it right. That's what pseudo-Pro-Life looks like.

Honest Pro-Life resists ANY but the most necessary violence. Angainst: War and anti-Capital Punishment, not to mention Violence as entertainment..

4. Fact is...

If we are going to fight wars we need enough people to fight them.

Unfortunately, once a body is dead it can not fight anymore. So, we need more bodies.

Pro-Life, for those that support the war, has nothing to do with any reverence for God's creation. It's a tactic to produce larger armies. Their religious references are just a sham.

This is not to say that there are not true Pro-Life people out there. But to be so, you must be anti-war.

5. As well as, anti-death penalty

The fake christians are so easy to spot.

6. I hadn't thought about Pro-Life that way.

Against Choice because they need everybody they can get for their side in whatever war (They CHOOSE!) at whatever level: full blown violence or more passive "cultural wars" or more aggressive cultural wars, like pressuring others to conform, ridicule and gossip..

8. Pro-Life Equals Pro-Bullshit

Fanatical bunch of self-righteous hypocrites.
