Shouldn't more "Pro-lifers" be pro-union?

[drokhole]

What, with unions fighting to give average citizens livable (sometimes barely) wages and working conditions. I don't know, maybe they could put down the posters of the unborn fetuses and join a picket line of people who are actually suffering in the here and now. Or, if they don't happen to be part of that merry band of dipshits, those self-righteous pricks (particularly the politicians) could at least throw their support behind union workers - hell, even unions in general.

And, while we're on the subject of clarifying things up, how about we start giving the teachers credit for being the real "job creators"? After all, they are the ones who put the time and effort in giving the future workers of America the education they need in order to create, own, operate, or develop the places for other people - who also need an education - to work. No education, no workforce. Which leads me to my next question - why do the Republicans want to punish the job creators?

1. You're assuming that all of them actually care about "life"

Too many of them just care about enforcing rules for the sake of enforcing rules.

2. That is both the most simple and the smartest response I think I have ever seen.

So sick, but so true.

13. Exactly. nt

3. Pull yourself up by your umbilical cord

They'd say kids should be out working by age 3, and they don't need no stinkin unions!!

4. It's funny

but, damn by the looks of things that may not be too far off the mark.

I think I read something about new labor laws and children but, I'm fried. TMI to compute.

5. Mississippi. They're talking point is "the government thinks it knows what's

better for your children than you do". Heard about it on Randi Rhodes tonight. Absolutely horrifying.

10. And "Time" coever asks, 'Is America in Decline...' Hell yeah, nt

[gateley]

12. We're not in "decline" we're getting exterminated. It's almost as though there has

been some Hate Molecule implanted in Republicans while they slept. I'm astounded by the seemingly exponentially-growing groups of people who see absolutely no problem with this and in fact support it!

I honestly don't understand what happened. The Republicans seem to be able to cast this evil spell over millions of people, just say the word and it becomes Right and True.

Again, I just don't understand. :(

[madmax]

14. Come sit by me because

I don't understand either. I hear what 'they' hear but, don't react or believe things on face value. Maybe I'm jaded having raised a teenage boy whose Nun/Principal said, 'is the biggest con-artist I've ever met.' :blush:

Someone I knew for 20 years was stolen by 'the pod people'. She went into a complete meltdown when Obama became the Dem nominee. He's a Muslim, wasn't born in the US, yeada yada. We no longer speak.

[gateley]

15. Yeah, I've lost a couple of friends, too. I'm convinced they're harboring racist

beliefs, even if they don't see it in themselves -- convinced themselves he's Kenyan. Easier to hide behind, I guess.

The nuns had some choice words to say about me to my parents, too, so I can't help but think very highly of your son. :7 :hi:

6. If they're Pro Life, they "should" be against the death penalty, too, but they LOVE it. nt

[Initech]

7. They don't care about anything that's not a group of cells.

8. Their concern for life ends at birth

For a large part of the pro-life crowd, any concern they have over human life ends once the baby is all the way through the birth canal and is outside the woman's body. Unless they think they can use it to dominate and control others and/or get votes.

9. Logically they should be unconnected issues, but it sure doesn't work out that way IRL

11. If fetuses held (paying) jobs.. maybe. n/t
