Pro-life?

[Prometheus]

I just saw an interesting comment on news article. I'll paraphrase it here for your consideration:

Conservatives aren't "pro-life." They are "pro-birth." After all, what kind of life can an unwanted child expect....

As I said elsewhere,

They're pro-life, but apparently not pro-living.

It's almost as if they treat the birth canal as a bridge to nowhere.

Once you've passed through, it's game over and you're on your own.

Yup. That's when they put on their "personal responsibility" blinders and start complaining about the human wreckage that they created.

So we're agreed?

Universal sterilization should be implemented?

Just the Christian (and/or) conservatives... for now

'm not pro-murdering babies.

I'm pro-Becky who found out at her 20-week anatomy scan that the infant she had been so excited to bring into this world had developed without life sustaining organs.

I'm pro-Susan who was sexually assaulted on her way home from work, only to come to the horrific realization that her assailant planted his seed in her when she got a positive pregnancy test result a month later.

I'm pro-Theresa who hemorrhaged due to a placental abruption, causing her parents, spouse, and children to have to make the impossible decision on whether to save her or her unborn child.

I'm pro-little Cathy who had her innocence ripped away from her by someone she should have been able to trust and her 11-year-old body isn't mature enough to bear the consequence of that betrayal.

I'm pro-Melissa who's working two jobs just to make ends meet and has to choose between bringing another child into poverty or feeding the children she already has because her spouse walked out on her.

I'm pro-Brittany who realizes that she is in no way financially, emotionally, or physically able to raise a child.

I'm pro-Emily who went through IVF, ending up with SIX viable implanted eggs requiring selective reduction to ensure the safety of her and a SAFE number of fetuses.

I'm pro-Jessica who is FINALLY getting the strength to get away from her physically abusive spouse only to find out that she is carrying the monster's child.

I'm pro-Vanessa who went into her confirmation appointment after YEARS of trying to conceive only to hear silence where there should be a heartbeat.

I'm pro-Lindsay who lost her virginity in her sophomore year with a broken condom and now has to choose whether to be a teenage mom or just a teenager.

I'm pro-Courtney who just found out she's already 13 weeks along, but the egg never made it out of her fallopian tube so either she terminates the pregnancy or risks dying from internal bleeding.

You can argue and say that I'm pro-choice all you want, but the truth is:

I'm pro-life.

Their lives.

Women's lives.

You don't get to pick and choose which scenarios should be accepted. It's not about which stories you don't agree with. It's about fighting for the women in the stories that you do agree with and the CHOICE that was made.

Women's rights are meant to protect ALL women, regardless of their situation!

Overturning Roe does not stop abortions, it stops SAFE abortions!

Abortion is healthcare.

I'll pay for it myself and do the cutting if the money means so much to you.

Poor baby with your house, two cars, multiple pets, and vacations to Las Vegas.

I'm not deciding what is enough.

YOU are deciding at what point people become worthy of your recognition as fellow human beings... Adolf.

They're ALL human beings. Chemically, scientifically and biologically speaking, no differences.      

Now some I'd prefer the company of, but most not. No different than many not enjoying my company.

Here's the thing: The people you don't like are (for the most part) actually trying to make YOUR life better and in return you try to make THEIR lives worse.

That's not apathy. That's hatred.

The people I don't like subscribe to various forms of collectivism when I have no interest in involuntary servitude.

Just because I tend to enjoy it when it backfires in their faces doesn't equate to hatred in my mind........more like schadenfreude

1/5 = 20%. People in that tax bracket are making $20/hour or thereabouts

2/5 = 40%. People in that non-existent bracket are making about $260/hour

This is where you blah blah about state and local taxes and I say, "States rights!"

And I'd prefer that the GOP stop giving tax breaks to the wealthy who then turn around and jack up the prices on their goods and services forcing me to have less while they get to have more.
