wtf I'm pro-life now

[A Black Falcon]

I would only ever even CONSIDER voting for anyone pro-life if they made it clear that it is just a personal opinion and they would never vote that way and would vote the only decent way, for choice. And even then I'd much rather vote for a better candidate who isn't a right-winger on this extremely important issue. The religious right's war against abortion over the past decades has been horribly successful, as they slowly chip away at womens' rights one bit at a time... I know they want to go back to the days of women dying in back-street illegal clinics, but they must be stopped, abortion is an extremely important right that must be protected. Sure, abortions are not good things, but they are necessary and 100% absolutely must be available to anyone who needs one.

The religious right's obsession with the unborn -- fetuses, who are not yet humans, since they are not yet born -- while not caring one bit about the living -- you know, people who actually exist -- is kind of insane; why pretend to care so much about "dead babies" (it's not, again, they are not babies) and not about, oh, any of a massive laundry list of issues about the living they should care about but don't -- guns, health care for everyone, social justice, etc, etc... but those things don't help them in their war against womens' rights while their hypocritical anti-abortion war does, so here we are. I only hope they can eventually be stopped before they succeed. They've done a huge amount of damage already, with their nonsense lying anti-abortion laws that only exist to try to make poor women suffer and help their electoral chances. It's absolutely despicable stuff. If they actually cared about life they would care about the living first, but it's clear they do not.

I totally oppose any restrictions on abortion. For any potential restriction there is surely some case where that procedure is sadly necessary for someone.
