An interesting point

[Crepitus]

I read this in the comments section of a major newspaper.

"The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate for.

They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don't resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don't ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don't need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don't bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn.

It's almost as if, by being born, they have died to you.

You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone.

They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe.

--Methodist Pastor David Barnhart".

I think it's a pretty good explanation of why conservatives are so rabidly pro birth but against anything that helps the kid after he or she is born.

I very much suspect that many on the Right who say they're pro life don't actually give a crap one way or another. It's more political/ideological for them, owning da libz 'n stuff.

For them, it's just going along with the tribe.

I’m not a con, but even I know they don’t think as you claim. You’re falling for left wing propaganda. Stop it.

Conservatives give far more than democrats.

I've seen no evidence to the contrary.

 

[Lesh]

And yet the truth of the OP stands.

Once born...conservatives turn their backs.

Oh some do some good things...but in the overall?

nope

 

[gipper]

I've seen no evidence to the contrary.

That’s because you’re blind. Partisans generally are.

 

[MisterBeale]

I've seen no evidence to the contrary.

"politically correct, patriarchy, privilege, apologizing, reparations . . . . "

Evidence of propaganda?

It stares you in the face, but you swim in an echo chamber, so you can't recognize it, because you live and breath propaganda. . .

Why don't you show us some.

That's an advertisement. Not sure what you're getting at.

Unborn are perfect to use to push your agenda, rhetoric, argue for, use as a political tool, and so on. They are utterly perfect because they can't speak for themselves. You can literally say anything you want about unborn children.

Once they are born though they become less useful of a tool but they still hold value. But the older they get the less useful they are for people to weaponize to push their personal or social issues.
