The Pro-Life Crowd Explained

DAVE BARNHART JUNE 25 2018

THE UNBORN ARE A CONVENIENT GROUP OF PEOPLE TO ADVOCATE FOR. THEY NEVER MAKE DEMANDS OF YOU. THEY ARE MORALLY UNCOMPLICATED UNLIKE THE INCARCERATED ADDICTED OR THE CHRONICALLY POOR. THEY DON'T RESENT YOUR CONDESCENSION OR COMPLAIN THAT YOU ARE NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT. UNLIKE WIDOWS THEY DON'T ASK YOU TO QUESTION PATRIARCHY. UNLIKE ORPHANS THEY DON'T NEED MONEY EDUCATION OR CHILDCARE. UNLIKE ALIENS THEY DON'T BRING ALL THAT RACIAL CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS BAGGAGE THAT YOU DISLIKE. THEY ALLOW YOU TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF WITHOUT ANY WORK AT CREATING OR MAINTAINING RELATIONSHIPS AND WHEN THEY ARE BORN YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT THEM BECAUSE THEY CEASE TO BE UNBORN. IT'S ALMOST AS IF BY BEING BORN THEY HAVE DIED TO YOU. YOU CAN LOVE THE UNBORN AND ADVOCATE FOR THEM WITHOUT SUBSTANTIALLY CHALLENGING YOUR OWN WEALTH POWER OR PRIVILEGE. WITHOUT RE-IMAGINING SOCIAL STRUCTURES APOLOGIZING OR MAKING REPARATIONS TO ANYONE. THEY ARE IN SHORT THE PERFECT PEOPLE TO LOVE IF YOU WANT TO CLAIM YOU LOVE JESUS BUT ACTUALLY DISLIKE PEOPLE WHO BREATHE. PRISONERS? IMMIGRANTS? THE SICK? THE POOR? WIDOWS? ORPHANS? ALL THE GROUPS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE? THEY ALL GET THROWN UNDER THE BUS FOR THE UNBORN.

But maybe this does need to be shouted from the rooftops to the hypocritical GOP and their phony, hollow, meaningless 'pro-life' platform built on bullshit and deception...
