Acceptable deaths? That’s the mantra floating around the Twittersphere and out of the mouths of several of the GOP candidates. How can you be “Pro-Life” and then attest “It’s quite alright to kill those abortion doctors, those abortion nurses and especially those damn mothers seeking an abortion”.
The amount of craziness it takes to even begin to understand the ‘logic’ of vehemently spouting “Pro-Life” while supporting the deaths of others is just a head scratcher, at best!
Where are all of these Pro-Life supporters after that child is born? How many Pro-Life supporters adopt normal minority babies or disabled babies of every hue and race born here in the United States? Why are there so many children in foster care? And when these often abused children grow to become criminals, where do the Pro-Life folks believe these once, precious, need to be saved babies should go? To their well-ordered homes? Probably not!
When will these so-called ultra-religious conservatives realize that their beliefs are just as toxic as those practiced by those that believe in radical Islam?
Exactly when did normal Americans become so devoid of humanity that it became acceptable to override a woman’s right to choose? When did it become acceptable to anyone to allow babies to be born into a world without security, without love, without protection? Why would anyone think life, especially ‘life’ that many unwanted babies face? Lives filled with hunger, neglect, pain, violence, abuse?
Many, many years ago when my husband and I first married in 1966, we had many folks, black and white to stop and give us unasked for advice about our lives. Typically, I would respond to them with a bargain. “Okay, you can tell me how to live my life and with whom when you pay my monthly rent, provide food, heat electricity, make my car payments, pay for health insurance, make my weekly church donations, and as long as you continue to pay for my needs, then and only then will I walk away from my marriage to this man.” Funny, not one person stepped-up to fulfill their part of the bargain.
And I am afraid that those who have lost their lives over the months and years to modern day abortion terrorists, like my husband and I, never made said bargain!
