15. And I'll bet they still insist they're "pro-life."

Guys! REMEMBER THIS!!! Whenever you find yourselves in an argument with one of these starry-eyed addled-brained (and perhaps somewhat sincere - or at least they THINK they’re being totally sincere - and moral) anti-choicers, this may be an approach that encourages at least a partial return to REALITY.

You can’t say you’re “pro-life” if

1) you’re okay with THIS. An innocent post-birth child DIES in custody because she was unfortunate enough to have brown skin, and her parent(s) were desperately trying to escape to freedom and safety - probably MAINLY for, and because of, HER.

And there are more such arguments.

2) you’re okay with the horrifying butchering murder of a journalist because “it’s only one man” and we’ve got “important” business deals with the murderers’ sponsoring country.

3) you don’t care about the poor, homeless, and destitute in our country, because your preachers and politicians assure you that “the least of these” are lazy moochers and it’s their own fault that they’re poor, homeless, and destitute.

4) you refuse to believe that there’s an accelerating climate crisis that MAYBE we can still do something to avert while we still have a few years to work on it. And you refuse to believe the scientific community’s increasingly urgent warnings about it. And you refuse to accept that it’s human-caused.

5) you favor the death penalty. While you yowl that “ALL life is sacred!”

6) you want more guns. And less regulation or restriction on more guns. For whoever feels like having them. “Guns don’t kill people,” you bleat. “People kill people,” you insist. At best you’re only half-right. People do kill people. With GUNS.

7) you love it when your politicians cut programs that fund the social safety net. You know, the one that keeps the poor, homeless, and destitute from falling through the floor. Because you want that buck-98 tax cut your politicians lied to you about - claiming it would solve all your problems and make you rich like the 1%.
And, seriously, why the hell should you have to be bothered by some stupid “do-gooder” idea like being your brother’s keeper, or being mindful about whatever you do to “the least of these”? Note: these bastards have even turned the term “do-gooder” into a putdown. A negative. An insult. So doing good is somehow a bad thing, then?!?!
