Policies of the Pro-Life Party kill a toddler on the US-Mexico Border

[Person Man]

They simply want life to be dependent on the state and not be something that you just have.

[Person Man]

They are not pro-life.

They have zero concern, as is evidenced in their policies and attitudes, for life after it leaves the womb.

That's not the issue at all. Their leaders simply want to be the source of validation of the "worthiness" of life. To their voters, that is not just an unfortunate side effect of their leaders' ego but what they think Government is. Government isn't just a tool to make their lives better but simply exists because there is no existence outside of it.

In order to be considered truly pro-life, you should:

- Be anti-war
- Be against the death penalty
- Be against abortion (with usual exceptions for rape, incest, mother's life, etc)
- Strongly support increased access to contraceptives so unwanted pregnancies don't happen in the first place
- Support some form of universal healthcare
- Vote for politicians who share most or all of the above positions

Find me some politicians that hold all of said above positions, and I'll vote for them if possible.

Do we want these to be policies and unfunded mandates or outcomes?
I'm fine with having no real safety net if there is virtual no one with no healthcare, housing, and food. I'm fine with the death penalty being an option if its never used.

Is this just meant to be using a child's death as a "gotcha"?

Yeah yeah guys let's not use the Parkland deaths as a "gotcha" on perfectly sensible gun policy, now is not the time for politics, something something.

The gotcha happened in each of our hearts a long time ago.

The fact that you left off the second part of my post and didn't address it leads me to believe that your answer to this question is "yes."

We are making fun of the fact that you are obsessed with abortion and find everything else annoying.

[Person Man]

These threads will always be the same thing: cries of hypocrisy or moral inconsistency used as weak ballasts to prop up an indefensible position on abortion. No one here ever makes the argument that abortion is good, just that the people who think it is bad are themselves bad.

It's tiresome and the mods should really do more to keep this in the megathread.

There are only like one or two people here that actually thinks that abortion is good.
This thread isn't about abortion. It's about how people who are obsessed about it are so at the expense of practically everything else.

There is not a single Republican policy that resulted in this boy's death. If anything, detaining them managed to keep the boy alive for longer because he was able to be sent to a hospital after reporting he was sick while in custody, rather than allow him to deteriorate and die sooner because his parents wanted to put his life at risk and cross the border illegally.

This also has absolutely nothing to do with abortions, and anyone trying to compare this to those who have pro-life positions has no real argument here.

See above. Good effort, though.

I'm not the one who framed a toddler's death as being about abortion.

Your death would because you are being a baby.

I didn’t realize that pro-lifers drag these children through the desert

By voting for Trump, they did. They knew exactly what they were doing when they sent in that ballot, or else should have known.

And before you respond: No, I don’t mean they literally brought the children to the border. But they made their lives hell when they reached it, or else they ended their lives entirely. Every single person who voted GOP has blood on their hands.

They’re invaders. I really don’t care if their life is made into a living hell. It can’t be worse than the sh-thole they’re fleeing.

This kid died of pneumonia weeks after being detained. He wasn’t murdered and my hands are clean. Nice try.

Edit: serious question - why do you think my vote for Trump encouraged more illegals? Are you a troll or just plain stupid? That makes absolutely no sense. If you think the caravan was bad now just imagine how massive and unruly it’d be had Hillary won?

They would have been even browner!

You are a vile human being.

Are you even old enough to make a mature judgement? I still can't figure out if you're 13 or an 83?
