Where are the right to life people? re: deporting sick children

Once again crickets. .....

They prove time and time again, their right to life arguments are all about controlling what a woman does with her body. Shouldn't right to life and protecting life mean that you protect these sick children too?

I'm old enough to remember the Terry Schiavo fiasco.... The right to lifers and republicans lost their collective minds. With this new Trump administration rule to deport these children and adults that are receiving life saving treatments you are handing them potential death sentences. Its like pulling the plug. Just like they were outraged about Schiavo, should they not be outraged about pulling the plug on these sick people? So again, where are the right to lifers? They show their hypocrisy over and over again. Are they not distressed by any of this? Children dying in weeks or months after being told by this govt to leave access to their medical treatment?

3. I was very saddened this morning to read about the Iraqi man who had been deported a few weeks ago

to Iraq, where he was not born and did not know the language. He had diabetes, and he could not communicate with folks, etc.

He was flown back HOME to Michigan yesterday.... in a coffin. Trump is killing people...

4. Republicans are in favor of killing living babies and have done so. Pro-life is a myth.

Republicans are in favor of killing living babies and have done so.

Pro-life is a myth.

The supposed pro-lifers cared naught when the state of Texas (republican gov, republican Prez) deliberately killed living baby Sun Hudson against the mother's wishes because he was an inconvenience to the state.

It is not a matter of life to the supposed pro-lifers.

It is a matter of control.

6. It's rational to be skeptical they even care about their own children

Their policies, especially the climate denial, is really a death sentence for people alive right now, including their own kids. We're talking about people who are selfish to a degree that is difficult for normal people to accept exists. Policies like "deport sick children" even goes beyond that to an element of sheer cruelty that is cruelty for its own sake and maybe psychiatrists can one day explain this to the rest of us.

ON EDIT: I think it's an attempt to break our spirits.

Once born they embrace the Republican YOYO philosophy:
"You're On Your Own".
