(81,431 posts)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 theyre being totally sincere - and moral) anti-choicers, this may be an approach that encourages at least a partial return to REALITY.
You cant say youre pro-life if
1) youre 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) youre okay with the horrifying butchering murder of a journalist because its only one man and weve got important business deals with the murderers sponsoring country.
3) you dont 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 its their own fault that theyre poor, homeless, and destitute.
4) you refuse to believe that theres 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 communitys increasingly urgent warnings about it. And you refuse to accept that its 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 dont kill people, you bleat. People kill people, you insist. At best youre 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 brothers 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?!?!
