Republicans aren't pro life. At all.

[Bubba Kush]

They love war and death. They want to kill Grandma. They want to give money to the rich, on the backs of the middle class and poor.

They are, in fact pro-death.

Use that as a meme. Pro-death.

True pro-lifers embrace life, period!

1. The sky is blue. Water is wet. Grass is green.

Republicans aren't pro-life.

[Aerows]

2. The best judge of where a Republican stands on any issue

Is that they do exactly what they say they oppose.

[KittyWampus]

5. I thought you were going to say "Is see what benefit's big business and their bottom line".

[Aerows]

10. That, too!

[Gregorian]

3. By virtue of their own unconscious dependency on authority, they're also pro-fascism.

I'm kind of enjoying being a sweeping generalist this morning. But it's not too far from reality.

[stuntcat]

4. nope.

Add anti-environment to that. Not only do they not care about the world or the rest of the animals, but they also don't care about the future- what the adorable and special little babies of right now will be facing 50 years from now.

[3waygeek]

6. Oh, Republicans are pro life...

but only when it comes to sentencing.

[musette_sf]

7. I am

pro-choice
pro-child
pro-family and
pro-life.

SUCK IT PRO-DEATH REPUKES

9. I like that! There needs to be a bumper sticker/magnet. nt

8. They don't even know what Pro-Life means. They are really only about POWER to tell others

who they are, what their values and priorities are, how they should live, what is relevant/ir-relevant, what/when to think and not to think, what you may and may not earn, what to know, what the meaning & purpose of one's own "soul" is . . . .

They have been using the Abortion issue as a career-builder, which makes it, ergo, antithetical to anything even remotely resembling any kind of solutions, a fact clearly born out in their anti-sex-education, anti-science, anti-self-knowledge, anti-autonomy resume on this public health issue.

The truth is that what passes for Pro-Life is mostly pro-StateChurchCo-Careerism, often also as an ever so serendipitous auxiliary of, anywhere from a local to national, CoC membership. Turns out to be, more often than not, the opposite of Life affirming/manifesting behaviors & attitudes toward others - or - selective life affirmation only for other members of their mutual admiration societies, judged worthy of concern, all in fellowship funded by my tax dollars and politically active on a wide variety of issues. All with the support of tax write-offs, and most powerfully notable recently in the invasion & occupation of Iraq, the Cheney regime's attempt to make good on Reaganomics by rooting War in the Middle-Class jobs-base, about the only jobs that those 1% -ers ever intended to deliver, by-the-way.

Wars 'r' U.S., Death & Destruction for hire, is not Pro-Life, no matter how sweetly it is dressed-up in its Sunday best.

11. Why my Republican husband talks out of both sides of his mouth

He IS Grandpa age. He NEEDS Medicare and Social Security. He is middle class and not rich. However, he cannot admit he is WRONG. That's the problem. It seems he would rather cut off his own nose rather than admit the very things that his party wants to cut is something he himself really NEEDS.

[patrice]

12. I know some people like that & have decided that their inability to admit they've been wrong

comes from a definition for what they think of as strength is very different from mine, more externally dependent perhaps.

[Initech]

13. The people who proclaim they're pro life are one of the most psychotic groups on the planet.

They have a serial-killer level love affair with the unborn - they're so drenched in the Kool-Aid that they'll do anything to indulge that lust. And anyone who stands in the way of getting involved - whether it's intervention or opposing opinions - they turn violent towards that opposition.

[HockeyMom]

17. I recently told them they are not "god"

They cannot know what the future holds for them or anyone else. I had an ectopic pregnancy in the 5th week. I also had a living, breathing 3 year old at the time who was crying, "Mommy, Mommy, don't DIE". as I went to the hospital. All I thought of the entire time was my 3 year old, NOT some 5 week old embryo. They cannot understand that the already born children of the world take precedence over the POTENTIAL children of the world. To get back to my story, my younger daughter, minus one fallopian tube, was born almost 3 years to the DAY that I lost that other one. I wrote to these ProBIRTH people that if I had died that time, my younger daughter would never have been born. "Who are YOU to presume that you know the plan of god or the universe as to who will be born? Perhaps, that other child HAD to die so another COULD be born? Not one person answered me.

14. If they were really "pro-life" they would be demanding single-payer healthcare.

[stuntcat]

19. +1

[JaneQPublic]

15. No, They are pro men having dominion over women as baby makers

It just gripes them to their core that a woman could have the right and the power to weed out the seed planted by a man, any man.

They still haven't advanced beyond the ancient belief that women are nothing more than the flower pot in which men plant their offspring.

So instead they support laws that take reproductive choice away from women and give rapists the choice of any woman to bear their children.

Pretty damned screwed-up thinking.

[quinnox]

16. They are strongly pro-life if you are

White, rich, and conservative. Otherwise, not so much.

[Urban Prairie]

18. Rightwingers are only in fact, pro-embryo/fetus

and pro-personal responsibility, immediately after the fetus is birthed, once the cord is cut, and it becomes a living-breathing infant.

The infant's mother must then have the cash, credit, and/or the medical insurance for any necessary and further medical care and treatment, else one or both may just as well drop dead upon the delivery-room floor.

Same goes for our troops, as the hypocrite chickenhawk rightwingers, will boastfully proclaim to patriotically support them, and most will "prove" it by sticking a yellow-ribbon magnet on their bumpers, but for many only as long as they are and remain in active duty. After the troops are discharged, or become unable to, or no longer can serve due to severe wounds, PSTD, and/or injuries, while in the line of fire, then again their "personal responsibility" mantra takes precedence.
