    “Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own! Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you!”

    Always remember: It’s anti-choice. That’s the true dichotomy, because pro-choice people are not anti life.

    Calling it anything else is putting lipstick on a pig, deceptive, allowing voters to feel good about being assholes to others; and whoever invented that term knew this perfectly well.

    Also, something something George Carlin.

      Pro-birth. Your usefulness to their ideology stops after you’re born, at which point you become a burden to be exploited or discarded.

        Forced-birth. They are forcing women to undergo painful physical trauma. They don’t give a shit what happens to anyone after.

        This is how you treat slaves.

      Justifying the murdering of unborn children

      They obviously don’t understand that in many countries, it’s all-or-none, and don’t understand what a D&C is, or what it is considered.

        Do you mean many countries are totally 100% against abortions? I disagree. I think even the most conservative ones (USA excluded) see that there must be exceptions - if not to save the life of any mother, at least to save the life of the in-group’s wives.

        don’t understand what a D&C is

        What is it?

          It’s the procedure to remove a stillbirth. It’s considered an abortion, even though the fetus is no longer alive.

          Women are dying because of this in some places, because doctor’s are afraid of legal issues.

    Imo you can’t call yourself pro-life and be against a fair social system (at the very least regarding medical fees). Loosing your mother at age 6 becausee insulin costs 400$ a vial is not being protected, neither is dying from cancer at age 12 because the insurance won’t pay for your treatment.

      100% agree. Someone once pointed out to me that if the antis really believed they were babies, there would be far more anti abortion terrorists. If they really believed that thousands of babies were being murdered just down the road, dramatically fewer people would just sit moaning about it. They’d be blocking roads, slashing tyres and bombing clinics overnight… or more extreme

    Protecting Children does not stop at birth.

    Well, for the GOP, it does. They are so bad at protecting children in so many ways that Epstein is only a minor issue…

      They also cut SNAP, PBS (where tons of kids and educational programming are), and Medicaid, so the kids’ parents will be sick.

    You can’t call yourself pro life.

    Seriously. So few people are genuinely “pro-life anti-abortion” if someone says they are pro life safe money is that they’re just lying.

    For righties, protecting children stops at birth because at no point whatsoever are they ever about protecting children. A fetus is neither a person nor a child, nor does it exhibit any hallmarks of consciousness. It is simply a medical condition, so it’s a convenient thing to champion imaginary “unborn children” because real children - real living, breathing people - have actual material needs. Fighting for the living means doing things other than treating vulnerable people horribly, and that is, at the start and end of the day, the only thing those sadists desire.

    The irony is that a lot of people that are anti abortion don’t give a fuck about the child after it’s born and wouldn’t even yawn if they died afterwards, especially if it’s a black kid
