When I hear that republicans are “pro life” I assume they mean actual life but boy was I wrong. Did you know that 80% of republicans support the death penalty? A vast majority of republicans supported not only the Iraq war but the use of military personal against ISIS and in Iran and even with more and more children dying from preventable gun violence they support less and less gun laws.
These same people will pass laws, protest and do everything possible to save a fetus even if it means passing unconstitutional laws and spending millions of dollars in court to defend them. After the fetus leaves the women that’s a different story. These “pro life” people are against food stamps, health insurance and education for the children. While they support war they are against spending money on veterans when they come home and didn’t bat an eyelash when we sent men and women to Iraq without the proper tools needed to survive.
When I hear someone say they are “pro life” I call bull shit, you may be pro fetus but to call yourself pro life is a disgrace to people who do cherish life. I have no problem with your stance on when life begins but don’t act like it ends the minute the baby is delivered at the hospital. It is a shame that you don’t fight as hard for a sick and hungry child as you do a 5 week old fetus that can’t even survive on it’s own outside the mother. To let people starve, freeze to death from exposure, die from curable diseases without health care or worse because their treatment is denied so the insurance company can make a profit is not pro life. So please stop lying and just admit you are ‘pro fetus’ and could care less about life.
