Actual pro-lifers do support quality universal healthcare, free child care, and paid leave for both parents. Since when do anti-lifers give a damn about forced abortion? Unless it's based on the gender of the child I mean.Liberals don't say that a fetus isn't human, we say it's not a human life yet.
The decision to have a baby is the most life altering decision a woman can make, and one which changes the lives of everyone in her family. As such, it is not a choice that anyone else can make for her.
The idea that women should be forced to give birth to a child she cannot afford to carry or bear, is barbaric in the extreme. It is just as barbaric as forcing her to abort a child she wants.
When you're prepared to give women health care, child care and paid maternity leave, the number of abortions will come down. But not until.
Do they really?
I'm asking this because pro-lifers are typically conservative, and along with the conservative line is less government, less subsidies - they don't support family - friendly policies like paid leave for both parents or universal health care (or they seem to think that what we had before Obamacare was "universal". This might be my own bias - but do you have evidence for your claim?
If you going to call us "anti-lifers" then please be accurate with the other label - it should be pro-some-lifers or anti-choicers.
