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


FTFY

Just because someone doesn't support specific policies you like doesn't mean they are any less pro-life.

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.

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?

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.
You don’t have to “use” the Parkland students. David Hogg and Kyle Kashuv have done plenty of political prostituting, enough to account for an entire movement anyway.
Your definition of "political prostitution" seems to be "they wanted change badly based on their personal experiences and they got vocal and political about it". So did literally every person in history who is politically noteable. Including any and all conservatives, christians, pro-lifers, et cetera.

So is your real argument therefore "political activism is for cucks"? Seems like a strange position to take for somebody posting on a political discussion forum...

They are not pro-life.

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

Utter horsecrap, and you know it.

A good deal of the "quality of life" any child experiences, however, depends on the personal responsibility of the parents, for that will determine a great deal of the happiness level of a child.  People seem to think a child can have a great life with enough money, even when there parents are irresponsible dipsticks, and that just isn't the case.

Children born below the poverty level in America will be on Medicaid; they, and their mother.  That's a fact.  I know of people who could afford to get married, but didn't because the guy got his girlfriend pregnant and didn't get married to ensure that the child and the baby's mother had Medicaid.  And there is also the CHIP programs, which have been approved with bi-partisan support.  And that's not even mentioning the large number of crisis pregnancy centers that are, to a disproportionate degree, funded by Evangelicals.

This child died because of parents' decision to crash our border, a decision that can have devastating effects on the health of a child with health issues making that journey.  The care he received in an American hospital may well have prolonged his life.  

Our safety-net policies have nothing to do with the morality abortion; these are separate conversations.  Abortion affects the question of whether an unborn child is a human life (and I believe, unequivocally, that it is).  This situation is due to a person making a bad decision to attempt to crash our border with a child who, apparently, had health problems.  The child's death is not the fault of Americans, period.  And that issue has nothing to do with abortion.

It's been decades since I've earnestly used "I know you are but what am I?" as a serious argument, but PM2 certainly presents me with the desire to brush up on Elementary School Snark, as he can present situation where it's use by a sexagenarian is quite defensible, lol.
