Logically, Shouldn't The "Right-to-Lifers" be fighting to protect and help these immigrant children?

[Yavin4]

Shouldn't they be opening their homes and look to adopt or at least help these children? Isn't that what the Right-to-Life" movement is all about?

1. I asked something similar recently. Their answer?

The government isn't a nanny state that spoon-feeds you from cradle to grave.

Of course, while a fetus is in utero, Righties would require the government to protect it at all costs. But once they're born, they can go to hell.


Simple, see?

2. If it wasn't really a front for controlling women, yes.

They don't give a shit about kids though. Like George Carlin said "if you're pre-born you're ok, if you're pre-schooled you're fucked."


If they were really pro life they would be appalled by our infant mortality rate, they're not. If they were really pro life they would be against the death penalty, most aren't.

3. Are you forgetting these children have darker skin?

And I don't "Right-to-Lifers" (anti-choicers is more accurate) and "logic" (in any form) ever belong in the same sentence.

4. No. Their post-fetus status and lack of Americaness negates the "sanctity" of their lives...

Not to mention the fact that they have the potential of becoming burdens on any pro-fetuser's pocket-book.

Pre-born: You're alright. Pre-school: You're fucked.

Paraphrasing Carlin here.

5. no, this has nothing to do with forced pregnancy, so they no longer care about their lives.

6. That is why Sarah Palin's behavior is so shocking.

Makes me wonder if she doesn't sincerely care about little kids!

[Dreamer Tatum]

7. There are some churches in SoCal that are opening their doors to some of the kids.

I see what you're doing, however: you think all anti-abortion advocates hate immigrants, because you say so.

Some may, some may not. Myself, I like logic, so I'm not prepared to say "All X are Y."

[Yavin4]

10. No. I'm asking a legitimate question.

If you believe in "life" and protecting children, then your politics should be consistent across the board.

[Dreamer Tatum]

12. And I'm saying some are opening their doors.

But I'd put the following to those who are quick to point out the assholes with GO HOME signs: what are THEY doing to welcome immigrants? Very little, if anything. I have seen no stories about pro-immigration advocates opening their own homes.

In any case, your legitimate question has a faulty premise.

8. Logic?

This is their definition of logic: "Logic is little tweeting bird chirping in a meadow. Logic is wreath of pretty flowers that smell bad."

[alp227]

9. Naw, it's really the Right to White Life,

or right to create a new generation of kids to be proselytized. Not really "RIGHT TO LIFE".

[onecaliberal]

11. They are not

Unfertilized eggs, duh! We can't help those brown moochers, it's bootstrap time for those kids. /snark

[sufrommich]

13. Logic doesn't matter to the anti choice crowd. nt

14. Once you leave the womb you're supposed to pull yourself up by your bootstraps if you're American

If you're an immigrant into the US from south of or border it doesn't matter if you're still in the womb or out. You're a "diseased" drain on our society who is about to unleash pandemics of biblical proportions on the US.

I've heard people say some of the most horrific things about these children. Real people, not trolls on the internet which I can ignore as fools baiting others to fight with them, but real people. The worst was a couple at the airport. They were certain they were going to be struck down by some disease because there were Latin American families there. A young man in his teens traveling with them was begging them to be quiet because people were staring. I felt sorry for him.

15. Right wingers place no value on brown children

except for the generous $5 an hour they may pay the older ones for babysitting/yard work/car washing/etc.
